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.

WE also appreciated seeing the beautiful drawing in Marc's book and his explanation of the number and arrangement of bird feathers on a wing.
1. Trees can warn one another chemically of nearby grazers, so that untouched trees can produce bitter tannins to discourage grazers.
2.The animals on a drive might approach you if they are curious, but do not attempt to approach or reach out to them first.
Marc's respect, curiosity, and appreciation for the animals sets a model example for all of us. His very patient driving helps us get into places and see animal behavior that we would never see in a zoo. I have learned so much, and am very thankful.

I THINK IT IS A WONDERFUL THING YOU ARE DOING FOR "WHO" HE/SHE IS ADORABLE! I ALREADY AM IN LOVE WITH WHO AND I LOVE YOU FOR YOUR KIND & GENTLE NATURE. I HAVE DONE THE SAME THING WITH ANIMALS RAISING AND RELEASING THEM BACK INTO NATURE, THAT HAVE BEEN HURT OR LOST FROM THEIR FAMILY! I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY MOST OF THE TIME RAISING THEM. BUT I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY HEARTBROKEN.... BECAUSE I HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT FROM TIME TO TIME :o(
GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND LITTLE WHO, GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!!
