After over a year and some 90 email messages in my in-box, one of the
journal series, American Naturalist that I donated to the Elephant
Research Project in Sri Lanka has reached a University library there.
Dr. de Silva tells me that the other series, Ecology, is waiting to be
picked up to go to another University.
Thanks to all those who donated, and especially to the non-profit, IDEA
WILD, which picked up the ball and took a risk to make this happen.
Check them out, folks!
