Tamara Pulsts said… - Thank you for creating this great website Mike! Once ecoReserve launches its micro-conservation website next month (create your own nature reserve online for as little as $25), we will be looking for volunteer bloggers and contributing writers who can communicate about biodiversity in a way that people can relate to. If you or anyone else is interested, please email me at tamara@ecoreserve.org. We are also currently seeking advisors for our conservation, restoration and sustainable agriculture programs for our pilot project in the Panamanian rainforest.
