What’s New
If you would
like to learn of recent additions
to People and Plants Online,
this is the place to look. The
What’s New page, updated
regularly, will chart our
progress in adding Discussion
Papers, People and Plants
Handbook issues and Working
Papers to the current
resources on our website. In
addition, you will find the
titles of new items posted on the
Notice Board.
On occasion, we
will tell you what is new in the
People and Plants Initiative. For
some of the events we organize
– workshops, courses,
exchanges and research projects
– we will provide short
summaries produced in
collaboration with participants.
To complement these perspectives,
we will post stories that have
appeared in the press about our
work. On occasion, we plan to
feature longer stories that we
write about our field projects in
Africa, Asia and the Pacific.

As these
announcements and stories become
dated, we will transfer them to
the Archive of People and Plants
Online.(This
page last updated on 26 February
1999).
