The reason that quite a few member of the scientific commnunity
support and respect ANGFA is that it has been an organisation of integrity
and credibility, Adrian. I for one, have found that I could extend
my scientific endeavours by my association with ANGFA. If we
still have common objectives, like being custodians
of our native fauna, we need each other. If you just want to be "stamp
collectors" you will just become another hobby group with little or
no relevance to the understanding of our native fish. You will then
leave all the policy making to the scientific community without being
listened to.
Yours sincerely,

Walter Ivantsoff
