in the OBC Bulletin and
hopes that they will continue to do so in BirdingASIA. Advertisements

the text that you send us, and insert images and logos as required.
Alternatively, we can accept your print-ready Pagemaker, Quark
or film adverts. Pagemaker is the preferred format. Please contact

OBC Corporate Sponsors
The OBC Corporate Sponsorship Scheme
has recently changed to allow companies to choose the level of
support for OBC, from £200
- £1000+ per annum. This newsletter explains the revised
levels and gives examples of how businesses have helped OBC make
a real
difference to conservation and awareness raising in the Oriental
region over the years.
Most payments are due for renewal and we hope that our past supporters
will renew for OBC’s 25th Anniversary Year. Please contact
