Firoz Ahmed: Project Update March 2006

Front Cover

The draft manuscript of the field guide is near completion. We had a discussion with the co-author (Dr. S K Dutta) on 23 March 2006 to discuss on the manuscript, and edit and improve the contents. Photography of 70 species out of 90 species to be covered in the guide. We visited three donors during the last six months to generate some matching fund for the guide so the quiantity of the guide can be increased to 5000 copies or more.
Visited and discussed with two donor agencies in USA (during my visit during October-November 2005) about possibilities of matching grants.
More photographs will be taken in the field during April-May to incorporate in the guide. The cover of the book and tentative layout has been designed.
