Jonathan Downes (born Portsmouth, England, in 1959) is a naturalist,cryptozoologist, author, editor, film-maker, poet, activist, journalist, composer and singer-songwriter, with a background in radical politics and mental health care. He is Director of the Centre for Fortean Zoology. His father, the explorer and Colonial Service Officer J. T. Downes (1925–2006), wrote several books on a wide range of subjects, such as African history, theology and the Devonshire dialect. His mother Mary Downes (née Rawlins) (1922–2002) was a broadcaster and author who published several collections of Nigerian folklore under the pen-name `Yar Kunama`.[1][2][3][4][5]

He is currently (since 1994) the editor of Animals & Men, and since 2012 has been the editor of Gonzo Weekly, a digital music magazine, between 2007-10 was the editor of The Amateur Naturalist (formerly `Exotic Pets`) - a magazine published by CFZ Press, the editor of the online magazine blog `Cryptozoology:Online`, and from January 2003 until August 2007 was the Deputy Editor of Tropical Worldmagazine, a tropical fish magazine published in the UK. From 2012-3 he was the editor of UFO Matrix magazine, published by 11th Dimension Publishing. He has also edited and contributed to several other publications over the years[2][6][7][8]

According to his autobiography and other writings, as a child he lived in Nigeria, and then Hong Kong (then a British Crown Colony), and returned to the UK in 1971, when his father was 'invalided out' of the Hong Kong government. He was educated at Bideford Grammar School, (1971-6) and later West Buckland School (1976-7) from which he was expelled. He worked as a nurse for the mentally handicapped between 1981–90 and between 1990 and 1994 ran the fan club for Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel.[6][9][10]

Since 2012 he has been editor of the Gonzo Daily blog, and the Gonzo Weekly e-zine, both in conjunction with Gonzo Multimedia (formerly Voiceprint Records).

He is active in community work, and for some years was part of the team organising the monthly children's service in the village church at Woolfardisworthy, North Devon. Having suffered from manic-depression for years, Downes is an activist for mental health issues. On 21 July 2007 he married his second wife Corinna Newton Downes.

He has two stepdaughters, Shoshannah (27) and Olivia (25) and a grand-daughter Evelyn (born September 2014)

CryptozoologyEdit

Downes and other attendees of the Weird Weekend, 2005

In 1992 Downes founded the Centre for Fortean Zoology, arguably the world's largest cryptozoological research organization. He is vocal in his opinion that cryptozoology should not be considered to be a branch of paranormal research. Although he has written a number of books on UFOs and other Fortean subjects (sometimes in collaboration with his friend and colleagueNick Redfern), he considers cryptozoology to be a branch of mainstream zoology, rather than anything more esoteric.[11]

BooksEdit

He has written the following books:

Take this Brother may it serve you well (1988)Riding the Waves (with Kim Andrews) (1990)El Grand Senor (with Kim Andrews) (1991)Road Dreams (1993) (1996)The Owlman and Others (ISBN 1-905723-02-4 with Nigel Wright (ISBN 0-9544936-5-6Weird Devon with Richard Freeman and Graham Inglis (ISBN 1-899383-38-7UFOs over Devon (ISBN 1-899383-37-9Weird War Tales with Nick Redfern (2000)Weird War Tales Volume 2 with Nick Redfern (2000)The Blackdown Mystery (ISBN 1-905723-00-8Only Fools and Goatsuckers (ISBN 0-9512872-3-0In the Beginning - Animals & Men Collected Editions Volume One (Ed)(2001)The Number of the Beast - Animals & Men Collected Editions Volume Two(Ed) (2001) (ISBN 0-9512872-2-2 (ISBN 0-9512872-7-3 (ISBN 1-905723-04-0The Call of the Wild - Animals & Men Collected Editions Volume Three (ISBN 978-1905723072The Island of Paradise: Chupacabra, UFO Crash Retrievals, and Accelerated Evolution on the Island of Puerto Rico (ISBN 978-1905723324

His best selling book is The Owlman and Others. In his 2004 autobiographyMonster Hunter, he discusses his years of substance abuse, as well as his achievements as a cryptozoologist. Once described by Nick Redfern as"Cryptozoology's answer to Hunter Thompson Downes has stated on a number of occasions that this aspect of his life is now firmly in the past. His latest book is a re-examination of the Puerto Rican chupacabras mythos, based on two expeditions to the island in 1998 and 2004. In addition he has edited ten annual Yearbooks for the CFZ.

His new book `Island of Paradise` covers in great depth his two expeditions to Puerto Rico in search of the chupacabra and other animals of fortean interest.

Also Nick Redfern's 2004 book Three Men Seeking Monsters: Six Weeks in Pursuit of Werewolves, Lake Monsters, Giant Cats, Ghostly Devil Dogs and Ape-men is a fictionalized chronicle of the adventures of Redfern, Downes and Richard Freeman.

FilmographyEdit

In his autobiography and in other published writings, Downes admits that one of his earliest ambitions was to make films. He has made a few of them over the years, including:

The "Case" for Crop Circles (1997)The Owlman and Others (2000)Eel or no EelThe lair of the Red Worm (2007)The Dragons of Africa (2007)The Savage Land (2008)Mountains of Mystery (2009)Riddle of the Hills (2011)Emily and the Big Cats (To be released 2011)

He freely admits that his first two films are "rubbish", the former of which is "a load of avant garde bullshit", and the second "a seedy art movie; a semi homage to John Waters, featuring gratuitous nudity, violence, and a pre-op transsexual Nazi." His more recent films, however, are part of the ongoingCFZtv project, and are rough-cut `Guerilla Journalism` projects available for free on the CFZtv website,[12] together with some songs from his albums.

On the TrackEdit

In October 2007 Downes announced a new CFZtv project: a monthly webTV show giving all the latest news from the CFZ and cryptozoology news from around the world. It is called `On the Track` and can be found on the CFZtv YouTube channel. The 63rd edition was released on 7 December 2012.

Musical careerEdit

1982 - 1996Edit

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Downes was active as a musician and performer, mostly with cult art-rock band The Amphibians from Outer Spacewith whom he sang, played guitar, bass and piano. He integrated elements of psychodrama and performance art into the performances. He has been described as being an ungodly cross between Warren Zevon and Steve Harley.[citation needed]

1996-2008Edit

However, after his divorce, which ended eleven years of marriage to first wife Alison in 1996, Downes all but dropped out of the music industry in favor ofcryptozoology, and has since done only four records and a handful of live musical performances.

Records released by Downes include:

The Mistake with The Amphibians from Outer Space (1982)You took me up (1984) (1984)Outside the Asylum with The Amphibians from Outer Space (1990)Breakfast with Brian Storer (1991)Pyramidiocy (1992)SexGodBaby with The Amphibians from Outer Space (1993)The Chicken Sleeps Tonight with The Amphibians from Outer Space (1993) with The Amphibians from Outer Space (1995)Contractual Obligations with The Amphibians from Outer Space (1996)The Weird World with Fr Lionel Fanthorpe and The Amphibians from Outer Space (2000)Hard Sports (2002)Lost Weekend (2003)Twilight over England (2007)BiPolar (2011)The Man from Dystopia (2013)

PoliticsEdit

Downes describes himself as "basically an anarchist".[6] As an artist, and indeed in many other ways he was primarily influenced by anarcho-punksCrass, "not really by the music, but by the D-I-Y attitude." He has always maintained the opinion that "in many ways it is more important to be heard than to get paid for it," and the CFZ, his music and films have always been disseminated along broadly anarchist and libertarian lines.

Dangers of Giant Hogweed-Heracleum mantegazzianum


Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) contains toxic sap that can cause severe burns.

At 20ft tall with dinner table sized leaves Giant Hogweed is an impressive plant that was once planted in gardens.  However, it is highly invasive and has spread throughout the whole of Great Britain, primarily favouring river banks but also other areas such as parks, cemeteries and wasteland.

The sap of Giant Hogweed contains toxic chemicals known as furanocoumarins.  When these come into contact with the skin, and in the presence of sunlight, they cause a condition called phyto-photodermatitis: a reddening of the skin, often followed by severe burns and blistering.  The burns can last for several months and even once they have died down the skin can remain sensitive to light for many years.

Every year there are press articles about gardeners, contractors, ramblers, children and others that have been hurt by this plant, just like this one:
