About
Because Brazil always lacked an unbiased source of news about furry fandom, the fans Reyres, Ekevoo and Tanuki Gokuhi made plans to create a news portal. After months of planning, they asked for permission to Jrrhack, the main energy behind the zine, Fuana Urbana to use the title for the project.
Aniki Geelong helped to convert the portal layouts made by Tanuki Gokuhi to XHTML/CSS. Development work finally ended on 7 November 2009 with the launch of the new website.
Ekevoo was the hostmaster. Tanuki Gokuhi was choosen to head the news portal; all changes, updates and partnerships are his responsibility. Reyres and Aniki Geelong are admins and press leaders. Jrrhack is the patron and still updates his own Fauna Urbana personal blog.
