2nd International Chelonian Congress; Muenster 15-18th April 2010

[Geomyda]

Just got back from the Congress in Germany. A four day, very busy programme which was attended by approx 150 delegates from across the world. This included a strong contingent from mainland China, and representatives of Chinese government and private breeding farms in the country.
Chelonian Biologists, field researchers, Taxonomists, and Private hobbyists from across the world gathered for a four day congress, which despite the enormous travel chaos due to Volcanic interventions, was a great event. Sadly, the contingent from the UK was limited in number but for those of us who were prepared to make the event it represented a hugely worthwhile experience.
