I hear you talking JC. I think it was the last few struggles that got me. Safari never even broke a sweat. She is an experienced hunter. Had to force myself to watch it. You have not lived until you see a pride of lions take down a buffalo. OMG. At least leopards wait until their victims are dead to eat them. Lions are not as considerate!! What a horrible death. Whew. Take a deep breath before watching something like that. I thought I would pass out. Dear me.
Delighted that you invited me to join your circle of friends JC. Love your pictures. If you would like a playlist so you can listen to music and need some help I can give you instructions. Real easy. Enjoy chatting with you. See you in the chat room.

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.
