ACCLAIM FOR CONSERVATION MAGAZINE

For the fourth consecutive year, Conservation magazine received the Gold Excel Award for general excellence from Association Media & Publishing. For the first time, the magazine also received extraordinary recognition from the judges. More than 1000 association magazines were entered this year, of which 170 received a bronze, silver, or gold award. Of those 170 winners, the judges picked four magazines as the "Best of the Best," and Conservation magazine was one of those four. This is particularly noteworthy because Conservation was competing against magazines with circulations well over 100,000 -- such as AARP (American Association of Retired Persons), American Dental Association, and Habitat for Humanity. The award represents a vote of confidence in the outstanding quality of Conservation magazine.

Stories from Conservation are growing legs: they are walking into areas that warm the heart yet extend the reach of conservation science. The summer issue cover story "Is a Warmer World a Sicker World?" was featured on The Guardian's environmental network home page (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/network), and a story on hybridization and conservation was featured on the Discovery Channel website (http://dsc.discovery.com/earth/wide-angle/rapid-evolution.cfml).

If you haven't see Journal Watch Online ( http://journalwatch.conservationmagazine.org/), take a look. Three to five new conservation science stories are posted every week and an increasing number of high profile blogs are directly linking to Journal Watch, including The Nature Conservancy, Ecological Society of America, Island Press, the Audubon Society, and the Sierra Club. We are seeing the ripples from Conservation magazine widening and our impact growing.

Congratulations to Conservation magazine's editor Kathy Kohm, senior editor Justin Matlick, and their extraordinary editorial team and publishing partners.
