  When writing to the individuals cited in this issue, please tell them you ‘saw it in the People and Plants Handbook’. Letting them know where you found information about their organization, publication or project will help us strengthen our efforts and our network.  

  Keep in mind that institutions are more permanent than individuals. It is best to send any correspondence to the institutional address, mark ‘official’ somewhere on the envelope, and put the name of the contact person on the side, preceded by ‘Attention:’. This increases the chances that someone else will respond to your request, if the person we mention has moved on.  

  If you wish to reference this issue of the Handbook, we suggest the following citation: Martin, G.J. and A.L. Hoare, editors. 1996. Issue 1. Keeping in Touch: Journals, Networks, Newsletters, Organizations and Professional Societies. In: G.J. Martin, general editor, People and Plants Handbook: Sources For Applying Ethnobotany to Conservation and Community Development. UNESCO, Paris.
