yashodan, we can certainly put a link to your website under the "Links" tab. we haven't started working on the info that will go under that tab, but i have noted your website and added it to the material. everyone, please start sending links you know to me so that i can keep adding them to my file, and then add them to the website when time comes.
i also have another, better idea. i know that you are doing quite interesting work in goa with your butterfly conservatory. can you write an article about your conservatory, how you set it up, how it has turned into a good butterfly habitat, how you maintain it, and so on? all this information will no doubt be useful to others, but your story will also be quite an inspiration to others to create similar butterfly habitats elsewhere. there is no word limit, write as much as you want, and provide as many photos and videos of your conservatory as you like. we will get it edited before putting it on the website. i think this article will be great under the "Conservation" tab of the website. like other tabs this is being developed. my idea is to have several things under this tab. first, of course, there will be information on the Wildlife (Protection) Act and its butterfly lists under various schedules. then there will be IUCN listings, red data books, etc. but this is pretty dry stuff. i want this tab to be much lively, much more positive. personal stories like yours will be quite fitting. so, this is a personal invitation to write for the website. would you please do this for us? >From: Yashodan Heblekar <[email protected]> >Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2009 07:30:00 -0800 (PST) >Subject: Re: [ButterflyIndia] IFoundButterflies.org launched! >Reply-To: [email protected] > >Good initiative ! > >Would it be appropriate to share links ( mutually on each others websites )= > to increase spread - we would love to put up a link to this site=C2=A0on o= >ur website www.bcogoa.org .=20 > >Rgds > >Yashodan Heblekar > >________________________________ >From: Krushnamegh Kunte <[email protected]> >To: butterflyindia <[email protected]> >Sent: Sat, December 26, 2009 9:50:52 AM >Subject: [ButterflyIndia] IFoundButterflies.org launched! > >=C2=A0=20 >hello everyone, > >it gives us - the website development team (see my next email) -=20 >tremendous pleasure to announce launching of our indian butterfly=20 >website: > >http://ifoundbutterflies.org/ > >currently only the home page and associated links under "About Us"=20 >tab are complete/have well organized, substantial material on them.=20 >other tabs and associated links will be developed in due course.=20 >(hopefully, very very soon!) > >at this point, what we would like is to invite from all of you=20 >comments and constructive criticism of the website design, user=20 >friendliness and ideas to improve these things (we are aware that the=20 >text on the "General Information" tab is messed up. our web design=20 >team will fix this problem in the next few days). > >we wish to include in the website team everyone who cares to develop=20 >this important, freely available web-resource. the quality and=20 >comprehensiveness of this website will only depend on how willing you=20 >are to use and improve it, and how much material you wish to=20 >contribute. so please, make this your own child as well, and help it=20 >grow well. > >an update on the four organizational meetings that we have had, what=20 >we have decided so far, how we are administering the website, etc.=20 >will follow in my next email. > >looking forward to a more animate interaction on this group in the=20 >coming days, weeks and months. > >regards, >--=20 > >Krushnamegh Kunte > >Post-doctoral Research Fellow >FAS Center for Systems Biology >Harvard University >52 Oxford St >Northwest Lab Room 458.40-3 >Cambridge, MA 02138, USA. > >Ph: (617) 496-0078 >Cell: (512) 577-1370 >Fax: (617) 495-2196 >Email: [email protected]. edu >Other emails: krushnamegh@ gmail.com, krushnamegh@ ifoundbutterflie s.org > >Personal website: http://www.people. fas.harvard. edu/~kunte/ index.htm >Indian Foundation for Butterflies: http://ifoundbutter flies.org/ >Google profile: http://www.google. com/profiles/ krushnamegh -- Krushnamegh Kunte Post-doctoral Research Fellow FAS Center for Systems Biology Harvard University 52 Oxford St Northwest Lab Room 458.40-3 Cambridge, MA 02138, USA.
