ALMOST PUNCTUALLY, we present Porcupine! No.18 for your edification. Please read and respond. Although there is no Feedback in this issue, there were some "verbal responses" to the format introduced in No. 17. Amongst the wild praise received from our overjoyed readers, some valid criticism was levelled at the Wildlife Windows section, which is now returned to something approaching its original format. Otherwise, we forge boldly ahead...
The ecological value of Hong Kong's "agricultural" land comes under the spotlight in our eight-page special feature Focus on Farmlands. Other major articles concern Sea-grasses, Horseshoe Crabs and Artificial Reefs . Xuhua Xia gets somewhat distracted with Six papers that shook.. and Edward Liew mounts a bar stool to talk about fungi and stuff.
There is no Porc cartoon in this issue. Some readers may find further cause for joy in this discovery. Should Porc return? Should he, in fact, be shot and stuffed? You decide. Write and tell us.
