Hi all,

I have the opportunity to be involved in a 3000 hectare tropical wetland 
reserve project.  The wetland was envisioned by our government as a gift to 
the nation and future generations and to make it financially 
self-sustaining, various commercial activities were started.  This include 
chalets, attractions include zones where imported animals and fish like 
hypos, araipaima,etc were exhibited in a natural setting.  These efforts 
failed (why go to a wetlands to see animals when you can go to a zoo?).
Can members of this group help me with some ideas, a wish-list perhaps,  if 
you were given the opportunity?  A seed-bank? A biodiversity showcase?

Any and all ideas welcomed.  It is for a good cause ( if this latest effort 
fails, there is a danger it may be commercialised).

Thanks and regards

HS
