Good Things.

*BUT FIRST, WON’T YOU PLEASE HELP? *Mohammed Irshad Ahmed writes: 
“/Please help me on the issues related to IPR (Intellectual Property 
rights) in the field of Remote sensing and GIS. How this is handled in 
real life? /If you can help Mohammed, please contact him at 
Irshad at CGIAR.ORG <mailto:Irshad at CGIAR.ORG>.

*TRACKING HUMAN ACTIVITIES USING GPS//*/–/In August, Innocent Wanyonyi 
wrote “/I am working on my GIS related research project with fishermen 
tracking their movements with GPS, this is for my thesis work. Do you 
have relevant literature i can refer to on this? I have seen a lot about 
tracking wildlife but nothing on tracking human beings activities??”/ 
Here are some sites that may be of interest. If you have any additional 
information that can help, please contact Innocent at

*Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation – *This is a new journal 
that is welcoming articles. The journal will provide a forum for the 
rapid publication of novel, multidisciplinary research at the interface 
between remote sensing science and ecology and conservation. Remote 
sensing is defined in its broadest sense, including data acquisition by 
handheld and fixed ground-based sensors, such as camera traps and 
acoustic recorders, and sensors on airplanes and satellites. The Journal 
will prioritize findings that advance the scientific basis of ecology 
and conservation, and promote the development of remote-sensing based 
methods relevant to the management of land use and biological systems at 
all levels, from populations and species to ecosystems and biomes. 
Information about the journal and links for manuscript submissions can 
be found at
