I want to walk into the office of the CEO of Mpumalanga Parks Board next week, armed with your support and confirm our help to prevent senseless killings of wild unfenced Leopards throughout the province.
Next year will be our ten year anniversary and the biggest yet for the ILP. Provincial authorities have no funds or people to tackle the issues at hand and have asked for our help. We must act now to conserve the dwindling leopard population. Time is slipping away, but we need funds to tackle the problems and mobilise a team. That is why we have put together a membership scheme. Please make a small donation (your choice, but please don't hold back), and become a member of the ILP. You'll receive regular updates from the front line of wildlife conservation and a voucher worth $380 which you can redeem against a 2010 Wildlife Safari with On Track Safaris.
Donations can be made by credit card via our UK Representatives Research Cam www.researchcam.com. All funds raised go to the ILP.

Thanks in advance

We received a boost this week when large carnivore behaviour specialist Kevin Richardson agreed to work more closely with the ILP, offering his skills and expert knowledge to assist us with upcoming projects. As most of you will know, Kevin has been associated with the ILP for many years, since he presented In Search of a Legend - Black Leopard. After hearing of our busy schedule and need for more assistance, Kevin was quick to offer his support and expertise to the ILP team. He brings a unique insight into the behaviour of carnivores, which will dovetail well with our operations in 2010.
We face some huge challenges next year and need more support both from experts and research volunteers. Let me know if you can help.

You know, I really feel badly for those members who have a job or for some other reason might have to miss a drive. And I know from my own experience, when you get home and only a couple of a drive's sightings are seek-pointed, you end up having to either plow through the whole thing anyway or, worse yet, just forget about it all together. :>(
Thinking of school teachers, wanting to show children an Impala, for instance - and even though WE have see the same Impala herd at the same spot every morning for the last 4 months - I think it's important to list out every sighting from each day and give its proper English and Latin name. Also, these archives are singular and spectacular. Having them thoroughly chronicled might even be important for some sort of research some day... who knows?
Of course, there are times when I can't be here to do them right away (like tomorrow), but I have had more time to do them the last few weeks and really enjoy it. It's not only fun to do, but I also learn a lot by doing it. So... as somebody we all know would say, 'My pleasure!' lol
