 Due
to lack of funding, IISD Reporting Services
was unable to send a full team of
writers/editors to the Fifteenth Meeting of
the Conference of the Parties (CoP15) of the
Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
(CITES). As a result, as many of you have
noted, we did not publish daily issues from
the recent meeting in Doha, Qatar.
