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.

you wish to reference this issue of the
Handbook, we suggest the following
