Folks, I write to pass on a very sad news. Prof. Navjot Sodhi, a prominent
conservation biologist based at National University of Singapore, passed away
on 12 June:

Navjot was a great inspiration to me. He was a prominent advocate of nature
conservation, especially for SE Asia, and had done tremendous work on butterfly
biology and extinction risks. He had written many influential papers on the
subject. He spent a year at Harvard as a Hrdy Fellow in Conservation Biology a
couple of years ago, where we interacted regularly. He was interested in Indian
butterflies and, had the Indian bureaucracy been kind to him, he would have
contributed a lot to butterfly conservation and nature preservation in India.
This is a great loss for the nature conservation community.
Krushnamegh.
