Attention Moosers!
We are pleased to invite you to participate at the 5th International Moose 
Symposium to be held in Hafjell, Norway from 4 - 9 August 2002.  As with the 
four previous international moose symposia, the conference aims to facilitate 
exchange of knowledge and ideas between moose scientists and managers involved 
in research on and management of moose around the world.
Under the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity, a special 
emphasis has been placed upon an integrated ecosystem approach. Some of the 
"Malawi principles" state that management objectives are a matter of societal 
choice, and that management should be decentralised to the lowest appropriate 
level. A key feature of the ecosystem approach includes conservation of 
ecosystem structure and functioning on a long- term basis, and the ecosystem 
approach should seek the appropriate balance between conservation and use of 
biodiversity. The 5th International Moose Symposium will cover a broad spectre 
of topics, but the conference organisers would like to particularly focus on 
the role of moose in the ecosystem, and how the Malawi principles can be 
adopted in moose management. Accordingly, the theme of the conference is 'Moose 
in a modern integrated ecosystem management '. Papers addressing these 
questions are especially welcome.
The 5th International Moose Symposium replaces the annual North American Moose 
Conference and Workshop for 2002.
