EDITOR’s NOTE
Dear Colleagues
It has been 20 years since the fist Hooo-Hooo has been
published. It has been an amazing journey from the printed
version to the online one with this edition also having links
to online videos available. Just a quick reminder where the
name came from the Hooo-Hooo is derived from the stress
call of the wild dog, the animal serving as the logo of the
wildlife Group.
I hope you enjoy this exciting and amazing issue. Please
continue supporting the Hooo-Hooo with interesting articles
and presentations.
Many thanks
