Conference Proceedings

Following each of the International Conferences, two volume Proceedings are widely disseminated to enforcement and environmental officials in virtually every nation around the globe. They include papers solicited on special topics and country programs, opening speeches, results of workshop discussions, and conference evaluations. These proceedings clearly reflect a realization of one of the goals of Conference organizers in the increasing number of country experiences profiled, increasing number of topics around which experiences are summarized, and the increasing sophistication of the papers and underlying programs that are the subject of these communications.
