However, I disagree that someone on HIPSTAR would even notice our existence. Here\'s why:
For starters, the age difference. We\'re just noticing their star and it\'s MUCH older than ours. At the distance of 200+ light years our sun would probably appear like a half formed gaseous ball just starting out.
By that same rationale, if they are anything like us (God, I hope not!), chances are they\'ve driven their civilization into the ground. Instead of a scientist looking up and saying "Hey look! A new star!" he\'ll probably be something like an Eloi and say "What about those points of light in the sky? All is clear, that is all that matters"
Then again, maybe they ARE different from us. Maybe they HAVE transcended beyond the pettiness of our own "Human" race.
So once again, my mind, like yours, wanders and wonders at the possibilities.';

It has been very interesting reading through your web site for the last 10-15 minutes or so. Unfortunately, not all of your page links are working.
I have recently become more interested in my native land, Puerto Rico. I lived there for 8 years in my early childhood and have never forgotten it. No matter where I go, it will always be "home."
I am impressed with your straightforth nature and direct approach regarding Puerto Rico, its people and its problems. You seem like an educated, well informed individual. I like to see that in my fellow Puerto Ricans. The information on the Coqui was very interesting - I had no idea there were so many kinds of Coqui or that some were extinct/on the endangered species list.
I would love to become more active in the issues concerning Puerto Rico but I honestly don\'t know where to begin. The idea of P.R. Independence appeals to me but not as much as what\'s going on in Vieques with the Navy or what\'s happening to P.R.\'s environment. I certainly don\'t want to see P.R. as the 51st state.
Not living in P.R. at this time, I am not able to witness its degradation by Puerto Ricans. This is a travesty and I wish there was something we, as concerned citizens, could do to help change this attitude in our compatriots.
Thanks for your ear,
Tasha Serrano';

c_txt='Doug,
I have been reading about the coquí and found your webpage. Being from PR and missing the familiar sounds, especially the beautiful and melodi coquís at night, I found your page among others. However, there are some inconsitencies between the information you present and others that I\'ve been reading. Namely, although the coquís have many natural predators in the Island, those predators are lacking in other islands and they seem to have become unmanageable. for example, Hawaii finds them intolerable, and everyone, from residents of the island state to hotel owners and managers have started a campaign to erradicate the coquí population which is now considered an "agricultural pest" that is "drastically changing the food web for birds and antive insects" by "gobbling up mosquitoes, termites, spiders, ants and... upesetting the nighttime tranquility of the resident humans" (San Juan Star, Sunday, February 25, 2007 p. 8). The state of Hawaii even has a coquí elimination or control program that includes the option of spraying them with calcium hydroxide to burn then (and any other innocent critter that happens to be hanging out in the immediate vecinity), dropping them into boiling water, or freezing them). This wonderfully inhumane program began in 1999 and seems to be in full swing at this time since it made the news in the above referenced SJ Star in PR. It seems the driving force is that many people go to Hawaii to escape noise, and the usual 75 to 100 decibel song of the coquí is quite disruptive to them.
I would pay any amount of money I can spare just to have one or two coquís living in one of my plants at home (in California). I call my parents sometimes in the evening just to hear the wonderful sound the coquís make, and then spend time talking to my mother about their sweet song. At one time I had a tape of just coquí songs and I can hear it in my sleep.
Would you be able to update your webpage? I think that if Hawaii does not want the coquí invation we could trade off and have them send them to PR, since it seems that scientists are predicting extintion in PR. Their studies say that there are 55,000 frogs per hectare (2.47 acre) in HI but do not state the number in PR except to state that HI has 3 times the number than PR. Quite a deceiving study if you ask me. Someone by the name of Wilson also explained the Hawaiians dislike for the coquí sound by saying that "we don\'t have that level of sound" in Hawaii so the residents cannot get used to it.

c_txt='Hi Damaris,
Actually, no.
Despite how much anyone can love the Coqui, it is wrong to infest another ecosystem with them in order to help promote their survival. Let me explain: The Hawaiians are very busy launching a public relations campaign to promote the idea that the Coqui is somehow noxious for their islands. They are in fact correct. The Coqui is devastating several areas of Hawaiian agriculture and considerably diminishing their production in various aspects. This is in part due to the bacteria that lives on the Coquí skin and against which several species of Hawaiian flora and fungii have no defense. Some of these Hawaiian plants are important cash crops that are crucial to Hawaiian economic health. Another important aspect to consider is that the Coqui is a voracious predator, and Hawaiian insects have no defense against it. No one has yet determined the actual impact in Hawaiian agriculture that the Coqui could or is having in the insect population, but some learned people believe it could be considerable. Remember the intimate relationship and inter-dependence between plants and insects? What would the agricultural impact be, if an insect-predator like the Coqui is allowed to infest and reproduce, unchecked, in the Hawaiian ecosystem?
But the average joe on the streets doesn\'t know from ecosystems and can barelly balance his checkbook, so don\'t expect to get results speaking to him about the balance of nature. Hence the PR campaign in Hawaii centers around the "NOICE" that the Coquies make. What else can the average joe understand?
No. If we as Puerto Ricans care about the survival of the Coqui, we should concentrate on the preservation of its own habittat, here in the island of Puerto Rico, rather than wasting our efforts trying to infest other ecosystems with our creatures much to the detriment of theirs. We cannot claim to respect, love and care about our environment if we do not respect, love and care that of others.
Much as it hurts for me to say this. The Coquies of Hawaii must be exterminated. Hawaii must be restored to its own habitat and ecological balance.
AND...Puerto Rico also. So that the few remaining species of Coquies will forever live...where they belong!
So think I.
Thanks for caring,

I\'m aware of the Hawaii problem, of course, and have been corresponding with the Hawaiian organizations almost since this whole thing began, (back then I was still living in Mexico City).
Yes, of course, it is tragic that when the Coquies finally do get a foothold on some other island besides Puerto Rico, they are repulsed by the local population. But in all fairness, their incursion into the Hawaiian ecosystem has been disastrous for several species of Hawaiian plants and animals. The sad fact is that the Coquies and the Hawaiian ecosystem are not compatible. So, as much as I want the Coqui to survive the stupidity of the people of Puerto Rico, still I don\'t want it to be at the cost of some other island\'s ecological wellbeing.
There is no solution. The Coquies have to be erradicated from Hawaii, and the sooner the better.
However, the Hawaiians could be a little LESS hysterical about it. With so many good arguments well founded on sound science, you wonder why they feel they must resort to wild rantings about sleepless nights and permanent auditory damage, plueeesssseee!
We who love the Coqui must concentrate our efforts in saving them where they are threatened most, and sadly, that is in their own homeland, and by their own people, the very ones who claim to love them most.
Thank you for your letter. It is always nice to hear from other (genuine) Coqui lovers.';

For my surprise I find out that some Coqui species are in the endanger species or critical.
My mother has gave me an idea to help the Coqui. She started this about 6 years ago. She adopted a Coqui from a close by river and raised as her own. I went on leave in July this year and she only had two of them. Apparently, one of them was a female, now she said that there about 4 more.
Educate the Puerto Rican people about the Coqui been in the endanger species list. Use the radio, television, the newspapers. Perhaps, making them aware of this threat to our precious Coqui they could help, too.
Create some type of artificial habitat to conserve the other species from extinction. God helps us Puerto Ricans for loosing that unique an satisfying nocturnal melody.
