The original environment news service
The Environment News Service (ENS) is the original daily international newswire service dedicated to late breaking environmental news. Independently published electronically since 1990, ENS aims to present the news in a fair and balanced manner, free of any business, industry or advocacy point of view. ENS articles cover important environmental developments gathered from a worldwide network of ENS correspondents Ñ experts in their fields which may include areas other than journalism, such as law, biology or economics. Accessed by more than 9.6 million readers every month at http://www.envirolink.org/environews/, ENS presence on the World Wide Web is sponsored by environmentally aware corporations and organizations. If you or your organization have newsworthy environment-related information, or if you have any questions regarding story ideas or access to ENS, contact the ENS editorial desk at ens@envirolink.org or call toll-free 1-800-632-9528. To receive ENS by e-mail, cost-free, send a message to listproc@envirolink.org, and write in the body of the message only: subscribe environews (your first name and last name).

REC NGO Directory Online
Need to identify NGO partners in response to the REC's latest cooperative grant's call? Need to find NGOs active in environmental education in Estonia? Or how about contact information for NGO experts in Bosnia-Herzegovina? Then look no further than the REC's most recently updated database on its WWW homepage. The new NGO Directory lists some 3,000 NGOs from 15 CEE countries including Bosnia and Herzegovina and FR Yugoslavia. Visitors to the site can search for NGOs by local and English name, by field of activity, by country and by town. Search results include a full profile of the NGO with contact person, address, telephone, fax and e-mail details, and reference to a web site (if applicable). Areas of activity, publications, level of activity (local, national, regional) and languages spoken and a list of the current or past projects implemented and details of the main sources of income complete the online profile. If you want to search the NGO Directory go to: http://www.rec.org/REC/Databases/NGODirectory/NGOFind.html. A hardcopy version of the Directory will be available early in 1998.
