Welcome to Jottings!

Documentation, observations, scientific research, videography, communications are some of the sources of understanding the status of wildlife around the world.  The Journal of Threatened Taxa (JoTT) celebrates the completion of over 200 issues of uninterrupted (well … almost) monthly publication of scientific research since the first peer-reviewed pull out of Zoo’s Print Journal commenced in April 1999.

JoTT‘s scientific outputs are complimented by Zoo’s Print, which is the monthly science communication platform.  Yet, there is so much to share and with the growing interest in wildlife, and a growing readership in JoTT, we decided to have Jottings as a means of communicating what’s happening in JoTT as well as outside.

It gives me great pleasure to introduce the School of Science, a group of 17-19-year-olds from Coimbatore who have taken on communicating science in their free time.  We at JoTT, ZOO, and WILD are proud to have them on board as volunteers.  Here’s their first communication of the recently newly described burrowing frog from western India.
