DAM-L Tucurui Dam? (fwd)
Hello dam-l list subscribers.
I know Don McAllister would have wanted to help out this fellow and the
species he is concerned with given biodiversity was one of Don's
passions and areas of expertise.
Thhe species in question is the endangered parrot,
the Golden Conure. The dam is the Tucurui. I beleive
there are a few folks on the list knowledgeable about
tropical systems.
Tucurui is mentioned in the "WCD Dams and Development" guide. Can
anyone on the list think of any other contacts or references for this fellow?
DRIIA has nothing on it as we still can't seem to find any sponsors (GRR!)
or cash and there's only so much we can do out of our own pockets. Up till
last year I was using a 486, and still only have a 28.8 connection with
text only email functionality.
cheers!

Subject: Tucurui Dam?
My name is Glenn Reynolds. I work witht the World Parrot Trust and I am
researching the impact that the building and flooding of the Tucurui dam
had on the parrot species in the region particularly the golden conure,
which is nearing extinction.
I travel the United States lecturing on this specific species
and raise money to save it. (He is looking for data specific to
the Tucurui dam but can't seem to find any). Can you assist
me?
Thank you,
Glenn Reynolds
