WWF’s mission is to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by: conserving the world’s biological diversity, ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption. Written and designed by Christian Thompson (consultant), with Sami Tornikoski, Phuntsho Choden and Sonam Choden (WWF Living Himalayas Initiative).

Endowed with exceptionally rich flora and fauna, the region is truly a conservation jewel. Therefore, to learn that 211 new species have been discovered in the Eastern Himalayas between 2009 and 2014 further enhances that reputation. The Royal Government of Bhutan is truly delighted to know that at least 15 of the new species were found in Bhutan alone. This is indeed an indication of how much there is still to be explored and found from our incredible region.

WWF’s mission is to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by: conserving the world’s biological diversity, ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption. A fanged fish and a fangless snake, five new mammal species, a bald bird and a EXECUTIVE frog that sounds like a cricket are among the 145 species newly described by science SUMMARY in the Greater Mekong region during 2009. The Greater Mekong region of Southeast Asia through which the Mekong River flows comprises the countries of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and Yunnan Province in southern China. The region is home to some of the planet’s most endangered wild species including tiger, Asian elephant, Mekong dolphin and Mekong giant catfish, in addition to hundreds of newly discovered species. Between 1997 and 2008 an incredible 1,231 species were discovered by science across this region alone1,2. While these discoveries reinforce the conclusion that the Greater Mekong is a biodiversity hotspot, with some being considered for IUCN Red List status, they also highlight the fragility of this region’s diverse species and habitats.

A high point was the recognition of Harold Craighead, now Professor Emeritus, by the students and scientists he inspired. In July, we welcomed Assistant Professor Peter McMahon whose interest in the physics of computation keeps AEP’s research on the leading edge. Our community remains dynamic, with faculty leading Cornell’s research centers in new directions, and innovating our teaching methods. We are also delighted to bring you news of our students, present and past, and include photos of two of my favorite events: commencement and the annual alumni breakfast (during Reunion Weekend).

    American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists Board of Governors Meeting To Be Held Virtually; Incertae sedis August 12, 2020 12pm Eastern 1 Prosanta Chakrabarty, Secretary Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science 119 Foster Hall Baton Rouge, LA 70803 [email protected] July 25, 2020 Dear ASIH, Well, I had not planned to break everything before I left office as Secretary of the ASIH, but here we are. It has certainly been an unusual year, and we are just passing the half-way mark. Returning from fieldwork in Thailand this February I heard talk about a dangeour virus spreading across the globe; then suddenly borders were closed and meetings cancelled - including what would have been the 100th meeting of the ASIH in Norfolk. Alas, it was not to be, the 100th meeting will have to wait. There are more important things including mourning the deaths of almost than 150,000 American and 640K worldwide. It is also a time to reflect, learn and become a modern, inclusive, anti-racist 21st century scientific organization.
