Hi Ginger, thank you for the comment on my Karula pic.
Was this your first time seeing Karula? I wish we could have spent more time with her. She loves being a ham for the jigga cam. She is a sweetheart to many of us.
Hi Carol, thanks for the info ... only have windows XP .. there is software I can download from Microsoft I believe .. Mike Moss mentioned it in a chat room. Your photos are incredible really when you think about how you've got them! Yes, I am waiting for the game drive, been watching the baby hippo ... so cute. Are you frozen today ... I just feel soooo cold even though the sun is out. See you later.. Take care
Hi ginger-d, yes we have chatted on drives. Its lovely to see you there. I just LOVE WE - it helps me deal with being so far away from my beloved bush and there are so many lovely and like-minded people in the chat room. You have some super photos - what software do you use ... havent a clue about these things. Will see you soon. Liz
LOL, Carol! From your newest profile picture, you look just like I did not 5 days ago... only during the week previous we got a good 130 cm(!) of snow. This week brought a 'thaw' of +4°C and 3 days of rain straight through... so, all those mountains of snow I had labored so hard over simply disappeared within that time!. But not to worry - this Winter is not over yet and more white stuff has been promised to us for tomorrow. :>((
Have been lurking around the chatrooms and saw your name and comments - and just wanted to give a welcome to you,too. Hope you enjoy being a part of this community as much as I do!
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.
