GECS News №11

GECS News is an annual publication of the South American Camelid Specialist Group (GECS), which is part of the Species Survival Commission of the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). The magazine is intended for the dissemination of knowledge and news that contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of wild vicuñas and guanacos. We intend that GECS News will be useful to researchers, wildlife managers, NGOs, producers, policy makers and students. Contributions are accepted in Spanish or English within a wide variety of topics that contemplate the generation of scientific and technical information relevant to the conservation and sustainable use of species, including: taxonomy, systematics, genetics, biogeography, ecology, conservation, sustainable use, management plans, and animal health. In this issue of the magazine (GECS News 11), special mention is made of the International Year of Camelids.
