Whilst on the subject of illegal pets etc, there is a Msian who seems to be doing dubious things. See http://www.naturemalaysia.com/news.htm
and on the herping guide and info page he says “Also bring along your snake hook, torch lights, headlamps and bags to place your catch.”. It’s as if he’s suggesting anyone go to the jungle to catch whatever they can. He was also running a reptile store, but has now closed down this page – under the personal box on his www.

The budget for policing the illegal animal trafficking probably went to the dept. that bans books. 😮 Yes, that’s bitter cynical humour in the face of despair…

I don’t suppose those non-fiction papers are online anywhere, are they? Links? :o)

Enough to make you weep blood, eh? I’m sure you must feel pretty hopeless and helpless, sometimes, shouting messages into the deaf ears of an uncaring world – but I hope you’ll keep on doing it. If your words allow even one endangered animal to stay in its natural habitat or make even one person decide against buying furniture made of rainforest timber, it will have been worth it.

And may your good work be cited by many more learned journals too!:-)
