Group meetings have been held annually in Almería, Spain (2001), Bratislava, Slovakia (2002), Agadir, Morocco (2003), Souss, Tunisia (2004), La Haute Touche, France (2005), Douz, Tunisia (2006), Hanover, Germany (2007), Al Ain, United Arab Emirates (2008), Marwell Wildlife, UK (2009) and Algiers (2010).
