Jaguar Conservation Team Working Group Meeting on June 29-30

Dear Jaguar List

Unfortunately, there's not a lot of motels available in Douglas. Here's the numbers for the few that are available. If you have not reviewed the response from AZ Game and Fish on the comments for the draft framework, they can be found at:

http://www.azgfd.gov/pdfs/w_c/jaguar/June2007/JAGCTConservationFrameworkPublicComment.pdf

The new Memorandum of Agreement can be found at:

http://www.azgfd.gov/pdfs/w_c/jaguar/June2007/JAGCTMOA2006-2010Draft.pdf

Please read both documents and come prepared to discuss them.

We are supposed to be getting the revised conservation framework soon. Will let you know if and when it becomes available.

Judy Keeler
