Hi all,
?
Could there be a protocol for brief ads on tweeters,? such as, "$30 has been sent to WOS in order to place this message" ???
?
I?recently ran an ad in the Seattle Times?crediting World Land Trust-US, which is trying to save a vanishing rain forest in Guatemala.? The only way I can mention it on tweeters is illegally.? (google World Land Trust-US and look for Sierra Caral.)
?
Secondly,
?
I notice there are almost zero posts in the past year on tweeters that say?"I went to "such-and-such a place in Mexico, Tanzania or?Nebraska, etc... to?such-&-such ?lodge with this tour operator and saw these birds, not to mention a Jaguar?and have this praise and/or these complaints."
?
Reading the rules, it doesn't seem these posts are illegal on tweeters.? Are people under the impression they are?
?
For those of us who are not in a position to travel it would give us a vicarious thrill to read trip reports.? More importantly it could help save birds, as eco-touring is the only hope for countless species and some folks might be inspired to?take a trip.
?
Happy Holidays
