A typical country overview will consist of a relatively brief statement, with further details available on linked pages and documents (HTML and PDF formats).
Key documents that are referenced should be submitted along with the overview, in order that they can be made available on CBNRM Net.
Country reviews will include the name of the author(s) and her/his institutional affiliation, and detailed contact information. The date of the review will also be included.
