COMMENT 
Welcome lo the new EANHS Bulletin! And "Thank 
yt.u!” to everyone who responded to the 
O^lionnaire. Your Editors were pleasantly 
nrorised to see that, contrary to our fears, you 
serin lo like what we are doing. Later in this issue 
I Will give you the results of the survey. 
Before going any further. 1 wish to thank my 
former Co-editor, and previously sole Editor, of 
the EANHS publications for all the long liard 
>urs he has put into making the Bulletin and 
irnal the quality publications that they 
esently are. While time constraints and other 
considerations have caused him to step down as 
Editor, we look forward to lus continued input 
and assistance in other ways with these 
oublications 
During the past few years the society lias been 
fcro:idening its scope of interest and activity One 
cf the ways we are doing this is by being a voice 
fi r conservation Dunng this time your society 
ms been vocal on conservation issues, 
particularly with regard to forests With direction 
■vim the Executive Committee, the Chairman has 
Written to Government Ministers and other 
officials, thanking them for actions or public 
moments in support of forest conservation He 
has also written, on behalf of the Society, to point 
•at conservation issues and urge action for the 
protection of A rab uko-Sokoke Forest and other 
•orcsts with biodiversity or cultural values When 
mportanl issues such as the degazettement of 
Ambuko-Sokoke Forest have come up. we have 
»lso issued, either alone or jointly with other like- 
ided groups, press releases suiting the views 
of the Society We are very pleased to sec from 
>th the Bulletin questionnaire and the general 
ociety questionnaire that the membership 
.pports this policy'. 
1 am hoping that this column can in future be 
a venue for airing members' views on various 
conservation issues. Anyone with a serious 
comment to make on recent events, problems, 
otential problems, grievances and also 
;cesses in the field of conservation, should let 
ear from them. I look forward to a stimulating 
inn in future.
