Perhaps the most recent and
saddening conservation news I can think of is
the death of Philip Corbet on 13 February
2008, easily the world's greatest odonate
ecologist. There have been good obits in
The Independent
and
The
Guardian; he also featured in a
National Geographic article along with Ola Fincke, just to
Philip's left in the photo above. He will be
sorely missed, and he was a good friend. This
photo is from Spain in 2005 at a conference,
where we were able to meet in person.
