Candy - sorry I have been absent so long. I was in Iowa on the 18th - nephew got married in Des Moines. Then hubby and I took a trip into Missouri to see his twin sister, and then down into Arkansas to see my Mom. After we got home, we had a couple days to regroup, then hubby went into the hospital for hernia repair surgery. My best friend fell and was hospitalized while we were on our trip. She is single and lives alone. I made trips to her apartment to get things for her and to the hospital to see her. Have been running between hospitals and not checking in here at all. I truly didn't think anyone would miss me.
ohh yes it is wonderful watching all the chicks fighting to get from underneath adults . don't remember them this bad 2 years ago .. great fun and having bother keeping off here to do other things
Hello there.. Not been in here for a few days .. been meaning to but waiting for a little gray head in the Eagle nest .. And I missed the 1st sighting because having my tea.. ha ha ha .. Murphys law rules again LOL
Was wonderful all the same
Candy, I just noticed in the chat that you told me, Hi - I had walked away from the computer to eat dinner. Just saw it when I got back, but you are gone. I should have closed out that window - or posted that I was stepping away from the desk. Sorry - and Hi to you, too! LOL
We have finally managed to get our live broadcast from Moholoholo wildlife rehabilitation centre working. Well there are a few problems with tree branches moving in front of the antenna which means the screen freezes every now and then but we can't chop out trees just for this broadcast. Having said that we have a plan to improve it and in the meantime we are getting some great day and night video of vultures, hyena and jackal to name just three species. Enjoy.
We've been hoping to find someone to help with our social networking in the USA for a while, then along came Deb Weston. Deb has been a supporter of the ILP for quite a while and came over to meet the team in Africa a few weeks ago. I'm pleased to announce that Deb has graciously offered to assist with social networking and fund raising for the ILP in the USA. So if you are in the USA, get in touch with Deb and let her know you are out there and care for the plight of wild leopards.
As most of you know, Kirsty Lynas has been working hard on social networking for the ILP in the UK ever since she finished her five month spell as a volunteer with us earlier this year.
Kirsty is continuing to work for us from the UK and co-ordinating with Deb who will cover the USA. Kirsty is also now managing the ILP membership scheme. All of those who have joined so far will be able to receive insider knowledge from Kirsty on a regular basis.
On that front, we need more folks to join the ILP membership scheme and soon, if we are to have any chance of saving the lives of Leopards. Sound dramatic? Well, a leopard was illegally shot this week and we were unable to prevent it.
That's one less leopard in the rapidly diminishing gene pool. If we all don't act soon there will be no leopards left in wild area's. That's no idle statement, our model shows a huge decline in the wild population. The genetic tipping point will come very soon, after which there will be no recovery. Please join the ILP membership scheme, we need your help.
