Thylacine is among the winners of the Whitley Awards of the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales (Category: Commendation for Zoological History) www.rzsnsw.org.au/grants-awards/previous-winners/2023-winnersA great highlight and success for this important book. It is also great to see that your book is among old hands like Mike Archer (for Prehistoric Australasia) and Joseph Forshaw (for Quail, Buttonquail and Plains-Wanderer in Australia and New Zealand)

Dear forum members,
I have good news and I have bad news. The bad news is that our dear member Rafael (RSN) wasn't in this forum since May 2022. I don't know if he will come back but I hope so. Rafael was moderator in this forum and therefore we need a new one. Yesterday I have given Koeiyabe the moderator rights and he accepted this job. I am very happy that we now have a new moderator who has the time to actively support the forum.

Yeah, I was passionately interested in everything about extinct animals and plant since I was a kid. I wanted to become a natural scientist who specialized in extinct animals, but my dream was not coming true. Actually, I already knew this forum in 2006 and became a member in 2008, and I wanted to post here asap but finally posted first in 2015. It was too late.
Me too. I want to thank Peter Mass for establishing this amazing forum and our members for your great devotion. I wanted to say: Happy Birthday Forum.

Dear friends of the forum,
I am pleased to inform you that our forum will turn 20 years today. When we deal with the term ''extinction'', there is something very negative and depressive attached to this word. But 20 years ago, Peter Maas had the idea to deal with the topic of extinction in a forum, which I was very happy about when I became a member of this forum myself one year later. I think our forum is a very exciting place because the stories behind the extinct animals are tremendously interesting. In the last 20 years we have had sad events such as the extinction of the Poʻouli (2004), the Bramble Cay Melomys (2009) and the Pinta Island Tortoise (2012) but also spectacular rediscoveries such as the Bone skipper (2009), the Silver-backed chevrotain (2019), the Cone-billed tanager (2004), the Tachira antpitta (2016) and the Black-browed babbler (2020).
I thank Peter Maas for creating this great forum and all faithful members for your diligent and comprehensive contributions.
Finally I would like to say: Happy Birthday Forum.

In about two months is the choice of the prestigeous Whitley Awards of the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Thylacine book will be on the shortlist.

I will go back into the hospital on August 22th. There will be a surgery to remove the metal plates in my leg. I hope I can leave the hospital after a few days.

It would be nice to have a stronger support for the Vanishing Plants forum. We are currently only three people who regularly post in this forum. vanishingflora.proboards.com/Yes, I would be definitely happy to become a staff to support the Vanishing Plants forum as soon as possible. Personally, I wanted to conduct research on extinct mushroom and cultivars from all over the world, but I focus on creating archival database on extinct breeds and will be publishing something new in the future.
