>Dear Colleagues,
>
>The inaugral isssue of Conservation Ecology will appear on the
>Internet at
>
>          http://www.consecol.org
>
>on June 15.  It's contents are briefly summarized below, and I
>particularly draw your attention to the Policy Forum on Science,
>Advocacy, and Policy. The capstone of this forum is an open discussion
>on the internet of a set of materials (Perspective, Commentaries, and
>Young Scholar Dialogue) that will be published in the first
>issue. This is very much an experiment, and I ask your help in
>exploring the opportunity.
>
>The first issue is looking good. A Table of Contents is included at
>the end of this message.  It includes interesting, well written papers
>covering a range of topics and perspectives not commonly seen in
>ecological journals.  They fall into three designated categories:
>
>Synthesis : Papers integrating elements normally considered separately
>in order to suggest new opportunities for theory, policy and/or
>practise - any length but the more succinct the better.
>
>Research: Original research with text limited to 4000 words but any
>number of figures or appendices.
>
>Insight: Singular discoveries, examples, or assessments that suggest
>new directions, clarify old ones, or clarify ideas for an
>interdisciplinary audience - theory, concepts, methods, or practise.
>Length less than 4000 words.
>
>In addition, we have the aforementioned Policy Forum on Advocacy,
>Science and Policy. We want to seed a discussion on the argument that
>well-intentioned advocacy can promulgate bad policy based on
>inadequate science; that the rules for good, experimental,
>reductionist science can produce irrelevant information easily
>misused; that the very culture and methods of science can be exploited
>in disinformation campaigns.
>
>It is comprised of the following:
>
>-a Perspective by Gordon Baskerville, a well known forest systems
>ecologist from Canada who has been at various times a respected
>ecosystem scientist, an innovative Deputy Minister in a Provincial
>Department of Natural Resources, a Dean of Forestry, and an advisor to
>the CEO of a large Forest Industry enterprise. The editorial's
>subtitle could well be "Traditional Ecological Science is Unsafe
>Practice"!.
>
>-Commentaries on the editorial by several senior scholars experienced
>in the issues from perspectives of both science and policy.
>
>-Viewpoints of Young Scholars- a summary of comments triggered by the
>above editorial and the commentaries during a 5-day conversation on
>the internet by 9 young scholars from North America, Europe, and
>Australia. This was organized by and for graduate, post-doctoral
>students, and researchers early in their professional career.
>
>Those three sets of comments will be published simultaneously on June
>15. They will set the stage for the fourth and final element of the
>Policy Forum - a moderated, six-day discussion on the internet open to
>the subscribers and readers of Conservation Ecology.
>
>Would you please make a point to scan the material in the first issue
>and to participate in the open discussion June 25-30? Please, in
>particular, encourage young students and young collegues to be
>involved.
