WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...

FIGHT EXTINCTION WITH HALLOWE'EN E-CARDS


Center for Biological Diversity

Dear Bloggo Readers,

Click here to view and send cards.

What's more frightening than ghosts, goblins, and witches? Real life, of course. Here on Earth, we're losing dozens of species each day -- which means planetary life is dying out more than 1,000 times faster than in pre-human history. And that's no Halloween ghost story. Our planet is now in the midst of its sixth mass extinction of plants and animals in the past half-billion years -- a nightmare of global proportions.

But we can't blame the situation on zombies or ghouls. The culprit is Homo sapiens. From the massive amount of greenhouse gas we emit to the lands and waters we rampantly destroy to the simple fact that there are far too many of us (and we keep multiplying like gremlins), the main thing we have to fear in the extinction crisis is ourselves.

Scared yet?

The good news is, together we can stop rare animals and plants from disappearing into the spirit world. With your help, the Center for Biological Diversity has been successfully fighting extinction for more than 20 years. We have the power to get the message out and protect imperiled plants, animals, and wild places. Help us avoid climate-change catastrophe and save countless endangered species from the grave.

The first step is educating people about the problem -- and this Halloween is a great time to do it. The Center isn't all doom and gloom -- we're making taking action a treat this week with five clever endangered species and conservation e-postcards you can share with all your friends. Think of them as a scare tactic for change.
