During the 'Who's Who in Conservation' session, students will have a chance to learn about the work done by a diversity of academic institutions and conservation organisations, and to discover work and research opportunities they offer. We are also featuring new elements to facilitate interactions between students and experts in the field of conservation, as well as to promote interactions amongst students from different parts of the world. *Previous conferences:* The number of participants has been steadily growing since the inception of SCCS-BNG in 2010. In 2014, we had about *500 participants*, with 41 foreign participants from 19 countries. There were 20 student talks and 80 student poster presentations during the four-day conference. We had excellent scientific plenaries by world renowned foreign as well as Indian speakers, including Daniel Brokington, Lian Pin Koh, Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, Goutam Narayan, M.Ananda Kumar, Sunita Narain and Suprabha Seshan.

[ECOLOG-L] Fwd: Recommendations for automatic data-logging rain gauge
Dear all, I'm looking for a self-emptying automatic data-logging rain gauge for use in the field. A long battery life is crucial (minimum 12 months) as field sites are only visited once a year. I came across the following options: http://www.weathershop.com/logging_rain_gauge.htm http://www.specmeters.com/weather-monitoring/data-loggers/rainfall-loggers/watchdog-1120-data-logging-rain-/#description Sadly, I haven't found any product reviews for the same. It would be great to hear from people who have previously used them for collecting rainfall data over extended periods of time. I would also appreciate any other product recommendations as well. Thank you for your time. Devathi Parashuram *Centre for Ecological Sciences,* *Indian Institute of Science,* *Bangalore - 560 012, India*
