I'd suggest putting the list in the first post and keep editing it as donations come in. Also, might be a good idea to collect the money as people are willing to donate... some time down the road things may look different in the actual money that you'll be able to collect. Just my suggestion.

Yeah, get Marty's cash now...quick...before he changes his mind!

Rickard, thank you for your pledge.

The first post of the thread now contains a detailed donation list that will be updated accordingly.

I will hold off on collecting money for a tad bit longer, however, Marty raises a good point.

Let me take this opportunity to reinterate the importance of ONLY PLEDGING A DONATION IF YOU ARE IN THE FINANCIAL SITUATION TO DO SO and PROMISE TO FOLLOW THROUGH AT COLLECTION TIME.
Thank you for everyone's cooperation in this matter as SOLID funding is critical to the life of the project!!

I wish I had the financial stability to be able to donate, but being a student and already being in several thousand pounds of debt (and having a bank account that is about -£1000) I won't be able to donate at this time.
However, I am an environmental scientist, with good knowledge in both environmental and asmospheric chemistry, good physiological understanding, extensive knowledge on ecological science such as population genetics and conservation, as well as being a keen and successful gecko keeper/breeder and a bit of a hippie when it comes to conservation. I also intending to go to madagascar next year to experience the wildlife first hand. When there, I intend to, for my own piece of mind and satisfaction, take notes of the climates and microclimates in various parts of madagascar, which will include temperatures, humidity, wind speed, light intensity and so forth.
I would be very happy to help out in any way possible, and when I get some money together I will donate what I can. Let me know if you think I can help out, scott.

Cheers, and good luck to you, this is project has great potential and is one I am keen on seeing the results of.

Graham,

I would be happy to include this type of information within the project, as my goal is to create a website featuring the results of the UVB researh along with various other collected field data.
Over time this project will probably unfold into ways I had initially not thought of. They are all pieces of the puzzle.

Please notify me in the future when your trip is confirmed, and at that time we can discuss our options and possibilities!

Thanks Much!

I agree, if all of us (we all clearly share strong interests) can get together and produce something, be it a website, a scientific journal, article or even a small book, on this information, it could greatly benefit so many people and give us a better understanding of madagascan fauna and their interactions with the abiotic environment.

I will indeed keep you posted on my plans for madagascar, and you keep me posted about any plans you make!

I think the list for fieldwork we could do is nearly endless. Again, I think this is a great idea, and I am sorry I didn't comment on it sooner!
