Consultation on the Guidelines for the Practical Implementation of Wise Use - Deadline 9 December 2011

Dear colleagues,

The IPS is currently launching a consultation process for a document entitled "Guidelines for the Practical Application of Wise Use". This is intended as a hands-on aid to implementing the 'Wise Use of Mires and Peatlands' guidelines and as a follow-on to the Strategy for Responsible Peatland Management. The current draft has been prepared by IPS members with assistance from friends and colleagues in other organisations.

We would like to have as wide a participation as possible in drafting the document and to achieving the maximum possible consensus. To this end we would be grateful if you could participate in the review process. It is envisaged that this first consultation will last until 9th December 2011.
