TENAN:
The Endangered Animals of the World TESAN: The Endangered Species and Nature of the World International research projects
Volume
76 - April - May 2007
=====================================
Hello to all TENAN/TESAN past
participants,
We are writing this newsletter with
mixed feelings. We have had to make a very difficult decision. We
have taken a close look at our own personal responsibilities both
with home and our jobs as school teachers, and we have also looked
at how active TENAN and TESAN have been of late and realize
that, at least for the present time, we must close TENAN and TESAN
to new participants. We will, however, continue to maintain the
website and have it online for use as a resource and information
about endangered animals of the world.
If, in the future, we feel that we
have time to reopen TENAN/TESAN to new participants, we will let
everyone know here on the main page of TENAN/TESAN and also on
Global SchoolNet's project registry.
We wish to take this opportunity to
thank all of our past participants for making TENAN and TESAN
successful projects. We could not have done what we did without you!
Thank you so much!
We do want everyone to also realize
that, we tried as much as we could to update TENAN and TESAN as much
as we could, however, some of the reports on these two projects are
getting close to ten years old, which means that the information
found on some of these reports will not be accurate. Your best bet
on current information about endangered animals of the world is to
go to organization websites such as World Wildlife Fund http://www.wwf.org
and National Wildlife Federation http://www.nwf.org
for the latest on the status of these animals.
Again, it is with heavy hearts we say
that we must discontinue the active hosting of TENAN and TESAN. They
have both had long and successful histories, and in many ways, were
ground-breakers in online collaborative website projects. We
both had a wonderful time hosting them and we hope you enjoyed being
a part of them.
We wish you all the best in all you
do for animals all over the world, and,
once more, Remember this...
That is all for now. If you have any questions or concerns please e-mail us at: tenan.tesan.ad@gmail.com Until next time, remember this:
"The idea of wilderness needs no
defense, it only needs more defenders."
Edward Abbey Sincerely, René
