To the Braddock Family,

I am writing on behalf of the Barbara Hardy centre for Sustainable Urban Environments at the University of South Australia. The Barbara Hardy Centre is a research centre that focuses on the sustainability of cities, the conservation of biodiversity and the maintenance of the natural processes that sustain life. Our work is underpinned by community participation and education.

The Barbara Hardy Centre is writing a book with the working title ‘101 Animals You See When Walking your Dog’ to be published in 2010/11 by Harper Collins. This book will provide a valuable resource for the Australian public that describes animals that are commonly seen in our cities. We expect no (or very little) profit from this work. If any profit is made it will be directed back into our research.

I am writing to request permission to use the photo of a Blue Manna Crab, featured on your website, within this book:
