Wentian Shi has truly preformed a great service to our organization and to the world of environmental conservation. Martin is right on in his post noting that with the most recent photos even someone like me, who does not consider himself an expert by any means, can turn to a reseller and say “No sir, that fish is not P. deissneri it lacks the spots”.
I have asked about Hiroyuki Kishi, head of the Team Borneo, several times in the past and little is known about him and his efforts particularly in recent years. I truly believe there is great treasure and knowledge that he has collected that is locked within the Japanese language and unavailable to the rest of the world. There is an amazing project to be uncovered for someone or a small group to collect his information and that of Team Borneo and to translate this information into German or English. Do we have someone out there that would be willing and able to invest time and energy in this project???
