Dear Bob,
Thanks for the information. The presentation list for
PAOC12 looks very interesting indeed. I would like to
participate and would like to present a paper. I would
like to present a paper entitled "Hornbills for Heros:
Socio-culture, perceptions and conservation of Ground
Hornbills in Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia".

I will write the abstract asap and send it both to you
and Doug, if that is ok. Thanks.

regards,
Yilma
