The CMS Secretariat is pleased to announce that an electronic version of the new CMS common exhibition is now available for viewing on the CMS website.

For the past several months the CMS Secretariat, in close co-operation with its Agreement Secretariats, has been working to create a common exhibition, which illustrates and explains the aims, purposes and conservation activities of AEWA, ACCOBAMS, ASCOBANS, EUROBATS, the Wadden Sea Seals Secretariat and CMS. The common exhibition, consisting of 38 individual panels (60cmx60cm), was originally launched at the Seventh Meeting of the Conference of the Parties in September 2002. It will now be shown during international conferences, meetings and events throughout this year. A second exhibition set will also be taken "on tour" around the world.

Interested organizations are invited to make use of the common exhibition at their own events. Any costs, including freight and insurance, must be met by those organizations. Use of the exhibition will be granted on a "first come, first served" basis. For more information please contact Ms. Veronika Lenarz (+49-228-815 2409 or e-mail: vlenarz@cms.unep.de
