WLVdialogue

Welcome to the Spring 2011 edition of WLVdialogue.

There are a number of interesting projects under way at the University at the moment. One such programme is led by the Centre for International Development and Training, which is involved in innovative projects around the world.

The team was delighted to receive £1.5 million to tackle illegal logging in Africa and we look at the issues surrounding the problem and how our experts will be using their skills to help communities and habitats.

We hope you enjoy reading this edition of WLVdialogue.

If you have any feedback for us, please get in touch at: wlvdialogue@wlv.ac.uk  

Our next magazine will be out in the Summer.

Best wishes
