Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I am sending this e-mail on behalf of Dr. Toshisada

Nishida, the former President of International

Primatological Society. He, with collaboration of

others, has launched a project to award the great apes

" World Heritage Status " in order to prevent the

extinction of them. For more detailed information of

the project, please see web pages whose URL are in the

bottom of this e-mail.

 

In order to obtain World Heritage Status for the great

apes, we have to gather information of NGOs/NPOs who

are working to conserve any of the great apes and

their habitat. Compiling of information about

NGOs/NPOs

is important, when negotiating with UNESCO, because we

will be able to show them how many people and

organizations are interested in, and actually are

involved in, the effort to conserve the great apes.

So, we will be happy if you answer the following

questionnaire about your conservation NGO/NPO, and

return it to me (michio) at the

earliest convenience possible.

 

The information you will give us will be used only for

the above purpose. We will send you the news of our

progress in the near future, and also will ask your

opinions for making preamble for the World Heritage

Species Status.

 

Replying to this e-mail does not necessary mean that

you positively or wholly support this project (of

course we will be happy if you do so). In other words,

we are not asking you to make quick decision that you

are for or against this project, but simply we need

the basic information of your NGO/NPO.

 

I also appreciate if you provide me information about

other NGOs/NPOs also working for the conservation of

the great apes in order to compile an exclusive list.

You can distribute this e-mail if you wish.

 

Thanks for your time and cooperation.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Michio Nakamura, ph D

Research Fellow of the Japan Monkey Centre
