@OtherSociology I think any innovative way to secure funds for conservation is +ve, so long it doesn't become commecialised greenwashing
.@kerryecharles Agreed. I'd worry about company w/ bad environmental record sponsoring name of species.They should demonstrate good policies

@OtherSociology True. I'm not sure what current regulation is. Possibly just up to the person who discovered/described the species? -
@kerryecharles Seems so from article. Would be good for professional science organisations to provide guidance for sponsored names
