The mission of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) is to provide information services that support the conservation and sustainable use of species and ecosystems, and to support others in the development of their own information management services. As part of its information service, WCMC has developed a World Wide Web Server on Internet, with the support of the European Union and the BT Community Support Programme. This can be accessed at: URL: http://www.wcmc.org.uk WCMC works in collaboration with a wide range of organizations, and is jointly managed by three of the foremost global agencies concerned with the environment and nature conservation: the World Conservation Union (IUCN), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). WCMC's presence on the World Wide Web was inaugurated by Anne Campbell, Member of Parliament for City of Cambridge. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jeremy Harrison Head of Information Services World Conservation Monitoring Centre 219 Huntingdon Road Tel: +44 (1223) 277314 CAMBRIDGE CB3 0DL Fax: +44 (1223) 277136 United Kingdom email: [log in to unmask]
