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...

END NY COMMERCIAL TERRAPIN HARVEST

New York State just proposed to end the commercial terrapin harvest, and they need to hear from you if they are to proceed.

Terrapins in NYS are under pressure from pollution, habitat destruction, vehicle strikes entanglement in fishing gear (crab traps) and over collection.

In New York State Terrapins are quickly disappearing in areas where they recently were common. 

Now is our chance to get at least one of those threats off the table for NYS terrapins.

This will slow down the pressure on the NYS population so solutions for the other threats can be developed and implemented.

Mail your comments on why you agree that NYS should end the commercial harvest of Terrapins by June 9, 2017 to
Michael Schiavone
NYSDEC
625 Broadway
Albany, NY 12233-4750
or email them to him at: WildlifeRegs@dec.ny.gov
 
For more information about the proposed rule  go to (http://www.dec.ny.gov/regulations/34113.html#Parts_31_and_32).

Please remember to include any titles and affiliations, with your signatures. 


Please distribute this to any one you know might be interested. Post via social media. Help get the word out.
