Along came Deb Weston.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.

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.

I think it has something to do with "view application" at bottom right!
I know one has to get it from the map originator - ot else you will just be on your own map - no-one else there!
I remember I tried lots of ways when I did it - returned to My Page, having given up - to find the map there - with an address panel for me to put in my address!!
How that happened - I don't know!! :D
friends maps to appear on our maps. I have some people on there but not everyone who has a map. Do you have any ideas?
The folks at WE are vertainly working hard to resolve the problems -- - - it is in their nature. Cheers BBE
No, I missed the am drive, but saw lots of beautiful pics!
Have a great day!
In the meantime, you can also add photos in your blog section.
Pleasure to be your friend.
Ning was having a lot of problems with some members uploading hundreds of photos from vacations, other safari trips, etc. so they are trying to limit that and the obvious copyright issues.
WE is not saying you can't upload your pics, but they can not be posted in the photo or video sections. (pictures added that way go into the main pool of pics for the Ning site...take note of the photos topic on top right menu bar) You can add them as your background, in your blog section or on the left side like I did. To do the pics on the left side, put the pics you want to add into photobucket, then add the link (don't remember which one so try all 3 of them until it works) to the left blog area.
I know it is a slight inconvenience but it is worth it when you personalize your page and make it "you"
I hope I answered your questions, if not, please let me know. I will help as best I can. I am not a moderator, just a welcomer, so some questions I can not answer because I don't know and those I will refer you to a moderator.
Have a great day and enjoy the drive...Patty
