  • The Solitaire Mystery
    The Solitaire Mystery Jostein Gaarder Translated by Sarah Jane Hails In This Story You Will Meet Hans Thomas, Dad, Mama, Line, Grandpa, The dwarf, A fat lady The old baker A fortune-teller Six years have passed since I stood in front of the ruins of the ancient Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion and looked out across the Aegean Sea. Almost one and a half centuries have passed since Baker Hans arrived on the strange island in the Atlantic Ocean. And exactly two hundred years have passed since Frode was shipwrecked on his way from Mexico to Spain. I have to go that far back in time to understand why Mama ran away to Athens… I would really like to think about something else. But I know I have to try to write everything down while there is still something of a child in me. I am sitting by the living-room window at Hisøy, watching the leaves drift from the trees outside. The leaves sail down through the air and come to rest like a loose carpet on the street. A little girl wades through the horse chestnuts, which bounce and scatter between the garden fences. It’s as though nothing fits together any more. When I think about Frode’s playing cards, it’s as though all nature has come apart at the seams. ACE OF SPADES … a German soldier came cycling along the country road … The great journey to the homeland of the philosophers began in Arendal, an old shipping town on the south coast of Norway.

This issue starts with a very thought-provoking essay by Professor Richard Griffiths that highlights some of the problems both field and zoo-based conservationists face not only in doing high quality research, but in communicating it to the rest of the conservation world. These are problems Durrell’s staff and students face regularly, and they are problems for which Solitaire is trying to provide some solutions. Although we are aiming at the highest standards, we are often working with small numbers of individuals, and in situa- tions that cannot be easily, if ever, repeated. Solitaire is an outlet for such studies, making our results available to a wider audience and, hopefully, stimulating more research and encouraging collaboration. This year’s Solitaire demonstrates perfectly what we are trying to do to improve evidence-based conserva- tion and the management of threatened species. Articles range from descriptions of techniques that have the potential to be of benefit to a wide variety of species – for example, habituating our female Sumatran orangutans to ultrasound equipment so that they can be monitored during pregnancy without stress – through updates on vitally important conservation initiatives in the field, to basic research on biology, behaviour and health, providing information that forms the essential underpinning of any conservation action.
