Communication Attempt with LA partner

Hi Sarah!

My name is R.D. Mira and I believe we will be working together on this wikipedia assignment for my conservation biology class and your landscape architecture class. I previously left you a post on your talk page. However, if you did not receive it, please allow me to fill you in quickly.

Originally, I was planning on writing a wiki page on Conservation International Philippines. However, I just was running into too many roadblocks in terms of research and communication with the people in charge of that organization. As of this past weekend, I changed my topic to a species named Draco mindanensis (Mindanao Flying Dragon). It is a lizard native to the Philippines that can glide with the use of skin folds that are used as wings.

Some photos of it can be found here: http://mczbase.mcz.harvard.edu/guid/MCZ:Herp:R-26200

Also, feel free to visit my sandbox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RDMira/sandbox) I've been working on.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and seeing what types of things you can create to help my page! RDMira (talk) 15:40, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
