THE Telegraph's campaign to highlight the Pride of East Lancashire has its very own section on the thisislancashire.co.uk website.

From the front page you can catch up on all the latest news and features, as well as recent stories if you have missed any.

You can also send in your nomination directly from the website by simply filling out the online form and submitting it.

It really is that easy so there is nothing stopping you showing how proud of East Lancashire you are.

AS the pressure on wildlife grows from man's increasing use of the planet a new website has been launched to provide an electronic safe haven.

ARKive (www.arkive.org) is described as a 21st Century Noah's Ark which will house information about species in danger of extinction.

The site is simply laid out in two distinct sections: a UK one celebrating Britain's natural heritage and a section for globally endangered species.

In the UK zone there are around 600 digital portraits, with everything from brown hares boxing to a dormouse giving birth.

Highlights of the £4m resource include the only surviving film of the extinct Tasmanian tiger and the last known shots of the golden toad, believed to be extinct.

And it is the world section that is likely to be the biggest challenge as 6,000 animals and 33,000 plants are listed as endangered by the World Conservation Union.

Many of the animals feature in two or more pictures, some are even captured on video, and each has a short description of how they live.

THERE is a campaign afoot to speak up for peas and to show just how good they are.

The Give Peas A Chance website (www.givepeasachance.co.uk)

thinks the minute vegetable is fantastic.

You can find out about all the properties the pea can offer your body.

There are some pea recipes, including the tempting Green Pea Puree and eight Indian green pea recipes.
