NEWSLETTER CONSERVATION GROUP Issue 2006/3, December 2006 INTERNATIONAL MIRE NEWSLETTER CONSERVATION GROUP issue 2006/3, December 2006 The International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG) is an international network of specialists having a particular interest in mire and peatland conservation. The network encompasses a wide spectrum of expertise and interests, from research scientists to consultants, government agency specialists to peatland site managers. It operates largely through e-mail and newsletters, and holds regular workshops and symposia. For more information: consult the IMCG Website: http://www.imcg.net IMCG has a Main Board of 15 people from various parts of the world that has to take decisions between congresses. Of these 15 an elected 5 constitute the IMCG Executive Committee that handles day-to-day affairs. The Executive Committee consists of a Chairman (Jennie Whinam), a Secretary General (Hans Joosten), a Treasurer (Philippe Julve), and 2 additional members (Tatiana Minaeva, Piet-Louis Grundling). Seppo Eurola, Richard Lindsay, Viktor Masing (†), Rauno Ruuhijärvi, Hugo Sjörs, Michael Steiner and Tatiana Yurkovskaya have been awarded honorary membership of IMCG. Editorial This Newsletter contains the outcomes of this year’s IMCG General Assembly in Finland: minutes of the most important meetings, resolutions (that raised a lot of attention!), and of course background information on our four new honorary members. In the coming month December the secretariat will organize the concrete elaboration of the many important tasks identified in the Action Plan 2007 – 2010. So: start thinking how you can contribute and contact the secretariat. And don’t be suprised if the secretariat contacts you for a direct request. The general assembly also installed the new Main Board and the Main Board has since also elected the new Executive Committee, that is not fully new, because it consists of the same people in the same functions as in the last 2 years. The SER Conference on Ecological Restoration, in which IMCG showed strong presence and that had a major focus on peatlands, adopted a “Greifswald Statement on Ecological restoration” that we include in this Newsletter. Furthermore you will find lots of news (please send us everything that is interesting!), short announcements of many relevant books (but we kept a pile in store for the next newsletter) and – as always – announcements on coming venues. We plan to publish a next Newsletter at the end of December 2006. Please send all your discussion contributions, news, publications, etc. to us, and with your help we will again prepare an interesting X-mas Newsletter. Deadline for the next Newsletter is December 17 2006. For information or other things, contact us at the IMCG Secretariat. Address updates should from now on also be sent to us.

Editorial Several important events are laying ahead of us, first of all the Ramsar Conference of Parties (CoP9, 8-15 November, Kampala, Uganda), where IMCG will be actively present. In this Newsletter you may find an overview of the peatland issues in the conference documents and information on some of the activities that IMCG organises, including a fascinating excursion to Uganda mires and a side event together with CoCoGAP. Furthermore, we are working on promotion material: a peatland brochure (with CoCoGAP), a flyer on African peatlands, and a new general IMCG flyer. Michael Trepel has already produced a beautiful set of postcards to bring the major global peatland issues under wide attention.

  • Community Roundup 2017
    Comhairle Chontae Mhuineacháin—Monaghan County Council Community Department Community Roundup 2017 Season’s Greetings! It’s been a very busy year for community development across Co. Monaghan. We thought it would be nice to take a look back at how much we have all achieved this year. When you see it in one place, it’s makes for very impressive reading! We’ve a message we want to impart too: as you go through these pages, you may notice much that you were un- aware of; perhaps opportunities your group may have missed for a few bob in funding here or there…… We who are working full time in this field, could hardly keep up with the many programme calls during 2017—some of which had very tight deadlines for applications. The lesson we took away from 2017 is that if Co. Monaghan commu- nities are to benefit from future funding calls, they must prepare in advance. We hope to help you with that during 2018. More detail on that later in the Roundup….. Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous 2018.
