PROPOSAL FOR THE JOURNAL OF NEO-TROPICAL WILDLIFE
[Conservation, Management, Production, Utilization and Cuisine]
Rationale
1.
The Neo-tropics contain about
33% of the world’s animal diversity.
2.
No wildlife and conservation
Journal exists that has as its specific focus the Neo-tropics.
3.
The next horizon for the
Neo-tropical wildlife is the systematic study of these species and the
application of all the principles that we have developed for the domestic
animals, that have all been in the main non native to the neo-tropics.
4.
This journal would put the UWI
St Augustine Campus into the leadership position in Neo-tropical Wildlife
Production, Conservation, Management, Utilization and Cuisine.
Mission
To highlight scientific and intellectual discussion on
Neo-tropical Wildlife.
Objectives
1.
To produce an electronic journal
that would focus on Neo-tropical Wildlife [with particular emphasis on Animal
Wildlife].
2.
To afford workers in Neo-tropics
an opportunity to publish their work in a journal that is focused on the
Neo-tropics.
3.
To produce a journal with
contributions in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch and English [the languages
of the Neo-tropics].
