NEWS: Death of Philip Corbet

philip
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.
