Abstract
The International Society of Zoological Sciences (ISZS), established in 2004, is devoted to bettering the field of zoology by increasing communication and cooperation between all of its branches (www.globalzoology.org). In order to promote cooperation between ISZS and other international zoological societies and institutions, ISZS would like to invite representatives from various organizations in various regions around the world to gather together in Beijing to discuss such topics as the election of new ISZS committee members and other related events that will be finalized in Paris in 2008, how to expand ISZS, and how ISZS can serve as a bridge to increase communication between zoological communities
