An idea worth spreading

We must spread the need for the development of Wildlife Forensics, so that we can have scientific data as evidence to be used in legal processes. The crimes against wildlife are nowadays comparable to illegal drug and gun trade, and we are far from winning this fight. A Wildlife Forensics Lab in a mega diverse and mega exploited country such as Brazil would give the legal system tools to make legal decisions based on scientific evidence, and hopefully keep the greedy exploiters as far as we can from our Natural Resources. I have a dream, and I know I can.....

My TED story

My TED story couldn't have began in a better way: I attended the 2009 conference at Long Beach and gave a short talk at TED University! I knew that would be the high point of my professional life until today, but I had no idea that I would feel the way I felt. Interacting with so many people from the light side of the Force, people so accomplished and still wanting to accomplish gave me even more hope and energy to keep on with my project of saving the world (LOL). The TED experience was a unique and special experience which I will always treasure and cherish. For more on my TED experience, check my blog out http://jmf.posterous.com/ .
