Working Groups
BoFEP’s  research, conservation and other initiatives are carried out by Working Groups that facilitate information exchange, cooperation and collaborative activities between BoFEP members and other partners.

As mentioned earlier, the working groups are the sharp ends of BoFEP, carrying out a variety of research, conservation and other activities on a range of different issues. Each working group has a coordinator and written terms of reference that are ratified by the Steering Committee. Each working group focuses on a specific topic of interest to BoFEP and its partners and invites participation by anyone interested in the topic or one of the groups current projects. Working groups develop their own work plans and mode of operation and report regularly to the Steering Committee about their activities.
