A prestigious nomination
Dear eProteus backers,
This will be my last update on the first phase of the project, which has been completed with the help of your donations. For this occasion I chose to post a piece of extraordinary news, especially in the field of biodiversity conservation:
Our partner and sponsor of the Proteus eDNA project, Labena d.o.o. has been ranked by the leading Slovenian newspaper Delo among the top 10 small and medium sized businesses - the so called Business Stars - of the year 2018.
The links below describe its successes and its vision in more detail (in Slovenian):
While the company focuses mainly on pharmaceutical, biomedical and biotechnological research and technological development, I find it especially noteworthy and commendable that they chose to support our efforts in documenting and preserving endangered cave fauna. Apart from the work on Proteus eDNA they are also sponsoring our work on the endangered cave clam Congeria jalzici: http://e-dna.si/blog/new-project-endangered-cave-clam-congeria-jalzici/.
I am very proud of our collaboration and grateful of their support. I wish them all the best in the future.
