ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS<br />
The workshop was held in Chile at <strong>the</strong> Hotel Cabo de Hornos in Punta Arenas, which is located near <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn<br />
end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> country facing <strong>the</strong> Strait <strong>of</strong> Magellan. Each evening <strong>the</strong> participants enjoyed <strong>the</strong> local cuisine, in which<br />
fish predominates, as well as some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sou<strong>the</strong>rn hemisphere’s best wines (Chilean, <strong>of</strong> course), aided by <strong>the</strong><br />
traditional hospitality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Chilean hosts and observers.<br />
Thanks are due to <strong>the</strong> sponsors, participants, observers, interpreters and rapporteurs, all <strong>of</strong> whom contributed to<br />
<strong>the</strong> success <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> workshop. Carole Carlson was responsible <strong>for</strong> arranging all <strong>the</strong> amenities with kind assistance<br />
from Jhoann Canto. The Chilean interpreters were indispensable and generously helped with o<strong>the</strong>r arrangements<br />
beyond <strong>the</strong>ir remit. Cynthia Close at IFAW handled <strong>the</strong> logistics <strong>of</strong> co-ordinating travel arrangements, many<br />
individuals travelled <strong>for</strong> more than 24 hours to reach one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world’s sou<strong>the</strong>rnmost cities. Despite this, all<br />
participants were indefatigable in making <strong>the</strong>ir contributions to <strong>the</strong> workshop.<br />
