About Us
|
The main purpose of the WLS is to promote the cooperation between Lagomorph researchers,
by diffusing information, results, projects and news. The WLS provides an electronic
newsletter for members to foster communication among lagomorph researchers, by giving
update information concerning research, conservation or exploitation on the different
Lagomorph species. WLS also promotes the World Lagomorph Conference (WLC), each
4 years, and supports more regional symposia on specific subjects. As some lagomorphs
have an important economic value, either as game or as pest species, a special attention
will be on these species, namely by given information for wildlife managers. WLS
also aims to get funds to support the attendance of students in conferences or deawn
co-finance projects on particular subjects.
