Discussion of the EMR letter:
Helpful comment by Chris Richmond, NZ DoC. Jamie Pittock (WWF International) offered the following comment (10/5/05):
'A
conclusion that recommends as "the most urgent immediate
initiative" a "comprehensive national assessment" will
sound to politicians a lot like a group of researchers calling for funds
for more research. An assessment may be the top priority, but I
suggest you consider adding more tangible measures if your target is to
motivate an audience larger than the academics reading the Journal.'
