Dear colleagues,

Today, you receive Issue 22 of our Quarterly Letter. Although most of the projects finished their research activities we still present numerous interesting news and recent publications.

After the presentation at COP13 in Cancun the book 'Making sense of research for sustainable land management' was sent to various interested people and institutions.
If you would like to order more copies feel free to get in touch with us.

To collect information for the upcoming Quarterly Letter, we would like to continue to ask you for the latest results, pictures and publications you would like to share with the community in our research program. Your support would be very much appreciated.

We hope you will enjoy reading this issue.

Kindest regards,

The GLUES Scientific Coordination Team
