American Cichlid Association ACA Paul V. Loiselle Conservation Fund First Award

 

Awarding of the first

ACA Paul V. Loiselle Conservation Fund Grant

 

The ACA Paul V. Loiselle Conservation Fund reached a milestone for the ACA in 2007, awarding its first grant to Allison Peace, which will assist in her research on “Evolutionary Ecology of Cichlid Assemblages in the Usumacinta Region, México,” garnering valuable information that will ultimately prove beneficial to the conservation of the cichlids of Mexico.

Warm congratulations to Allison, who offers an overview of her studies in the December 2007 issue of the ACA’s journal, Buntbarsche Bulletin, issue # 243.

Heartfelt appreciation to those whose enormous endeavors played an invaluable role in bringing this first awarding to reality, particularly the Babes in the Cichlid Hobby, as well as the Bermuda Fry-Angle Society and www.Cichlid-forum.com, and most especially ― you!

Please let us continue forward in the name of the Paul V. Loiselle Conservation Fund, for in the end, of course, it is the cichlids who win!
