ANOTHER NEWS FLASH: Bill Wade prevents hunting, logging & mining (“fishing is OK”)*


Yesterday’s workshop was an overwhelming success with over 100 participants from almost every segment of Jordan’s Protected Area and Eco/Heritage Tourism management organizations. By the end of the day several key recommendations had been drafted for forwarding to the GOJ (Gov’t of Jordan).   There is strong support for this as springboard to additional efforts in conservation area management. The day was further capped by safe arrival of Meme (I met her at airport with sign in Arabic that read: Meme. I had some business with Chief of Police at airport while waiting and showed him the sign. He looked at it and said: “Me-me”). Her arrival was in time to celebrate our 33rd anniversary today.
We celebrated the morning with a walk around The Citadel in Amman, followed by the drive south to Wadi Musa: she will be having her 1st taste of Petra tomorrow, after Heritage Experience Restaurant (see you soon Sa’ad) anniversary dinner: I am/we are so blessed. THANK YOU ALL…
