<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please find attached the conference programme for the 2013 RSAP Conference on Asia Pacific environmental futures to be held in the Coombs Lecture theatre tomorrow and Friday. There is no need to register and admission is free, as is lunch.
Of particular interest might be the panel pasted below on Friday morning on indigenous management of Pacific resources. Tomorrow’s opening ceremony 9.00-9.30am (Thursday, Coombs lecture theatre) will include an exchange between local Ngunnawal elders and Maori.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope some of you can make it and contribute to the dialogue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></p>
