In both Egypt and Turkey, ICBP has appointed a project co-ordinacor to 
collaborate and consult: both with governmental agencies and ministries and 
non-governmental organisations. 
Overall responsibility for the programme rests with Tobias Salathe at ICBP 
in Cambridge, England, but the links with other countries are being 
strengthened . 
Following agreement between ICBP and the Egyptian Wildlife Service (EWS) 
(see OSME Bull . 20: 57-58), Mindy Rosenzweig has been working on an ICBP 
contract in Egypt for the past year, with the aim of promoting 
conservation education in the country. 
Last summer, Sayed Gamei, the newly appointed conservation education 
officer for EWS, attended the conservation education training course run 
by the International Centre for Conservation Education (ICCE), near 
Cheltenham, England. Among other things, he prepared books on basic 
ecology and on conservation in Egypt, as well as a number of posters and 
other publicity material. These are now being assessed by school and 
university teachers in Egypt. 
The establishment of a conservation education centre at Giza Zoo is also 
underway, and is expected to run its first workshop for school teachers, 
government environment officers and others in September 1989. 
The Ornithological Society of Egypt (OSE) has been revived and hopes to 
publish Courser volume 2 by October 1989. For further information about 
OSE, write to Mindy Rosenzweig at the address below. 
If anyone plans to visit Egypt, and wants information or suggestions as to 
where to visit, they are welcome to write to Mindy Rosenzweig at: 
Executive Business Service, Cairo Marriott Hotel, P. 0. Box 33, Zamalek 
Cairo, Egypt. 
The Egyptian Wildlife Society, a 
non-governmental organisation, has 
been formed to promote conservation. 
Further information can be obtained 
from Dr Nael, Egyptian Wildlife 
Society, c/o Egyptian Wildlife Service
