Well, Henk talked twice! I was even again more impressed by the studbook program he has drawn up. For future conservation of species in captivity a necessary tool. And as Jean Raffaelli pointed out: IUCN is looking for our experience in captive breeding of amphibians for conservation purposes!
I found it an impressive meeting as ever where hobbyists and scientists meet. There was exchange of, I estimate 90-95% of captive bred animals. and there was a good atmosphere and friendliness. Spanish, French, Austrian, Suisse, German, Belgium, Dutch and a Russian particpants...and many new young people as well.
Hope they keep coming! So write down in your agenda for next year: 13-14-15 october 2006, Gersfeld, Germany.
