Species Interactions - Update


The Planning Meeting for this potential project that had been agreed at the last Forum meeting on 8 November took place last Friday, 17 January.  This was the first date that could be arranged since the Forum meeting!

The meeting reviewed the Statement of Requirement that SNH had presented for discussion at the last Chairman's Working Group (CWG) meeting and then at the Forum meeting.  This led to some further ideas for the development of the project and these will be discussed with SG & SNH.  The intention is to have revised proposals available for discussion at the next CWG meeting on 7 February and then at the Forum meeting on 28 February.

The most important matter to come from the meeting was support for the concept that had been proposed and that the initial effort should centre on a review of the 2005 Predatory Birds Report; this would be followed by a dissemination phase.

More details will be circulated after further discussion has taken place.
