To those who commented on my dolphin email - below is one of the topics I'll
be covering on a speaking tour of the US next year.
5) Sexing the dead goanna an alternative view of ecotourism!

Using dead animals to demonstrate such fine points of anatomy is
³eco-sensitive². But can it do more? And what does examining dead animals
have in common with sewage ponds?
My clients, mostly American birdwatchers with an academic background are
often interested in examining dead animals (including my dead dolphins).
Such interest prompted me to write a paper entitled "The value of Dead
Animals to Ecotourism" (published some years ago, I think by the Bureau of
Tourism Research).
