wow.. thanks Pat.
It's really a last ditch effort, but if enough people actually care enough to try to do something, it's the only chance the lungfish have really. Plus all the other considerations.. like the other species, the flooding of the fertile land (which is in short supply) etc.
and it's not often something comes up where maybe we can make a difference..or maybe I just like to kid myself that it is so...I sent some emails out via the petiton site and
the email went out with the subject
"Action Alert from Jan".. sigh.. so only one person out of 20 didn't delete it!
I've joined the petitions forum and let them know how the subject could be interpreted. Sometimes the obvious just doesn't strike one.
I did something similar(only worse) once with a uni assignment title(an abbreviation was needed) when younger.
I always stand back and read headings with a mind that is not involved in the topic now.So if anyone forwards emails via the petition site make your "name" something like "<name> Re lungfish under threat of extinction " or something similar unless people will recognise your name I guess
Maybe sometimes it just feels good if one tries to help... maybe :-)
