[Odonata-l] +AFs-Odonata-l+AF0- Collecting was not the problems

[Frederico A.A. Lencioni]

            I think this is a worldwide phenomenon, caused in my humble oppinion for four major factors : 
                1st - The large majority of the population lives in high poluted urban areas with a very few beauty, big and colorfull insects+ADs-
                2nd - The growing estrangement of the outdoors, where you can seen animals and the constant influences of television, videogame and internet+ADs-
                3rd - The decline of children teaching, teachers extremely badly formed and indifferent to the students' formation+ADs- 
                4th - Lack of  incentive (sometimes, as in Brazil, a true boycott) of the government for areas linked to the science and for base research.

  I think collecting as a whole is down.
  When I was a kid, just about anybody in scouts, 4-H, and Ag organizations had some sort of insect collections. Today it is rare to you see more than 10 on display at the county fair.
  The collections that are generally offered to our nature center are 40 years older or older.
  Kids today are extremely conscious about any kind of collecting.
