- Fancy a trip to Morocco to shoot one of our fastest declining breeding birds? Classy... Feel free to email to make your views known!
- A much better way of spending your money... name a newly-discovered South African iris! Bidding currently stands at �4005...
- Wild fires threatening laurel forest on Gomera
- Lord Howe to become the next rat-free island? $9 million Australian government dollars should help! Elsewhere, a successful pest (rat/mouse/stoat) eradication project has concluded on Indian Island, Dusky Sound in New Zealand, rat-removal is going on on Desecheo Island, Puerto Rico (once home to the largest Brown Booby colony in the world), and there are plans to clear the mice from the Antipodes! All great news, often carried out by relatively small conservation organisations on a budget... meanwhile, we balk at the idea of getting rid of Ruddy Duck or American Mink...
- More good news: three groups of Orang-utan reintroduced to the wild in Kalimantan.
- And the photo at the top? A random shot of a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo soaking up the sun, as a reminder that we have just two places left on our January 2013 holiday to Tasmania!
