Discuss 'Here Be Chickens', from Douglas Adams' 'Last Chance to See'

In 'Last Chance to See', Douglas Adams (yes, that one) and zoologist Mark Carwardine visit the volunteers protecting endangered species. For this meetup, we'll be reading 'Here Be Chickens', about the efforts to protect the Indonesian Komodo dragon. Feel free to read the other essays as well - but don't feel obliged! The idea behind the essay meetups is that they're easier on your schedule.
