The Australian Conservation Foundation has long enjoyed the contributions to their work of volunteer Maelor Himbury. I’ve long enjoyed one of his contributions – the daily compilation from the nation’s media of articles featuring the environment, conservation and climate change. Each weekday I receive Maelor’s list of articles, I scan the list and make an editorial comment on one that takes my fancy. Yes, I know, quite self-indulgent but it makes me look carefully through the daily offerings. I then send it on to the 40 or 50 people who have indicated that they wish to receive it. In turn, a number of them then pass the list on to people that they know. I’m never sure that Maelor knows just how many people appreciate his work – but I certainly do.
