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...

NEW ISSUE OF HERP-DIGEST

The new issue of Herpdigest is out, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The contents includes:

1) ``A Framework for Categorizing the Relative Vulnerability of Threatened and Endangered Species to Climate Change''
Today the EPA announced in the Federal Register a 30-day public comment period for the above document.
2) Earlier The USF&WS also issued drafts a proposed Strategic Plan for Climate Change and an Action Plan for Climate Change, an appendix to the Strategic Plan.
.3) PIJAC Moves Forward Without APPA and PIDA Funding
APPA Expresses Concern With PIJAC's Sustainability And Leadership
4) In Issue 51 of Volume 9 I wrote about a project of the TFWTG/SSC/IUCN
Seems some elaboration on what I wrote is needed. (Also two new papers are now available.)
5) Frog Legs Trade May Facilitate Spread of Pathogens
6) Is Their a Difference in Israeli Rodents and Reptiles And Jordanian Ones?
7) Cousins of Prehistoric Supercrocodile Inhabit Lost World of Sahara


And what's more - it is free. Check out http://www.herpdigest.org/
