I´m actually breeding some native snails in captivity. I´m a bit busy doing a scientific paper (not about snails)now, but I´m still very interested. I would like to know which are the aims of this society. To publish a magazin (?) To gather people in meetings ( anual meetings?) to share ideas, to open a forum (?).... I have few time like most people here, but still have some. I would like to know what you all think. Let me know. And please Vida, don´t stop this....

I know that everyone should participate on what want and can. But maybe would be possible and interesting to gather knowledge and experiences... As I said before I´m about to start working on a book about the native or wild species of my country with a malacologist, this is a bit demanding task but is still possible by gathering knowledge and ideas whenever we have spare time. I have been collecting shells and labelling them with the name of the location and day on which they were caught and some were already identified. It seems that I caught some unexpected rare species while others are more common. I now have some dozens still to be identified. I think this is fascinating. A simple walk on the nature can turn on a truly interesting discovery.

Hello Gonçalo! I was absent for a while, much engaged with italian forum, yet I'm still really unterested and I would let members known I'm engaged too, even if still on a lesser degree, in studying local snails, expecially morphological variations, ecotypes and monstruosity), as well as attempting reproducing (and possibly selecting morphs) of the same; and it would be wonderful if, collaboration of many members from different localities, could make us cover a species range, as wide as possible!

That´s interesting, but I´m a bit afraid that some people here aren´t interested in keeping with this idea. When people don´t believe on what they do, they should not even think on starting it... Criticism about the hypothetical lack of interest of the others appeared but then not even personal actions to invert that situation, lead this project starting attempt into an hoax...
