Some months back I announced on AAOLIST that an important conservation 
resource and information Web site and discussion list was being shut down as 
Stanford University could no longer support and host the site as they have 
done for the last couple of decades or more.  However the American Institute 
for Conservation took over this site and the message below gives the new URL 
for CoOl   Many people have spent countless hours getting CoOl and all the 
associated sites and archives moved over to the new server.  AIC is to be 
congratulated for supporting this invaluable conservation resource and 
discussion list.

On behalf of the Board and staff of the American Institute for
Conservation and its Foundation, I want to welcome you back to the
Conservation DistList and Conservation OnLine (CoOL). I also want to
take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and support
over the last few months as we assumed responsibility for these
vital resources and set them up on a new server. Our deep
appreciation also goes to Walter Henry and John Burke for the time
and energy they have invested in ensuring the continuation of the
DistList and CoOL.

While much of the initial setup is now complete and the DistList has
been reactivated, we ask that you continue to bear with us as we
complete the task of configuring the additional email lists,
archives, and websites associated with CoOL. We are committed to
maintaining and improving these invaluable resources into the
future.

You will now find the CoOL website located at

Please visit the site for updates on the DistList and other
CoOL-related materials.

I also encourage you to visit AIC's recently re-designed main
website at

to learn more about our activities.
