globetrotters.us: Razak: This and worse has crossed my mind believe me... however, I still believe in the idea of awareness of the animals and I also don't want to limit it to captivity because that is already covered essentially by zoos and I think that isn't what I am hoping for out of this either. However, whether this gets in or not I will put something in about being responsible with animals that you are seeing, as well as lightening the restriction on the pictures. I want a picture of animals that you are looking at, but perhaps they can be gotten from other web sources.
Advice appreciated.
I have an aside question on this subject. I remembered seeing a 'human fish' when I was in a cave in Slovenia.
This is a page about the fish http://camp.rrc-kp.si/praksa/proteus/index_en.htm
is says "In the 1922, Slovenia protected Proteus anguinus and all cave animals, while in 1982 Proteus anguinus was put on the list of rare and endangered wild animals, which prohibits their trade. " but I don't find it on the 'red list' web page.
I think I have a picture from the cave tour, they allowed pictures but no flashes. I do have a picture I took of a sign about them.
Would I be able to waymark this, if it is endangered but not on the red list? If I didn't have a photo of the creature in the cave, could I waymark with a picture inside the cave, and a link to another picture, or the picture of the sign? They are only found in that one cave.
I did find this animal on the red list, it is listed as vulnerable which is accepted on the list. I do think I'm going to lax the picture rule a bit like I said to include one picture of the animal from any source as well as a picture of a sign, or some sort of evidence of the area to prove you were at a particular place to view it (even if that picture is a far off picture of the animal)
