We had been quite concerned about Bo, who you may remember is a two year old male leopard who we are tracking via a GPS collar. We hadn't received any uploads from Bo's collar for three weeks and to say the least we were getting worried. However he has turned up alive and well and as you can see, he's been a busy boy. The collar stores data and uploads at set times if he is in cell phone range. Thankfully he has moved back into cell coverage. Our thanks to Lela and other ILP members who have been tracking Bo from their homes and keeping us updated. We don't always have a good Internet connection here in the bush, and rely on help from our friends. You can also join the ILP and help us track research animals.

We have a new member of the ILP team. Susan Belling has joined us to help with our work in conservation. Susan is a qualified Game Ranger and has recently been leading overland Safaris through main land Africa. Susan wants to pout something back into conservation and has decided to work full time with the ILP. She has been training with Gerrie and Anton over the last weeks, investigating leopard issues on local farms and tracking leopards via telemetry. She is now joining Anton on her first Black Leopard investigation at the Dalton Trust in KZN. Where she will be putting her training into action under the supervision of head researcher Anton. If you would like to welcome Susan then you can become a fan by selecting the link below.

Tragic news about the guide at Thornybush. Was he a close friend of your son? Thats really sad news. I actually walked into a Snouted Cobra at Polakwane Nature Reserve a few weeks back, while by myself - one could see how accidents may happen. I'm surprised the venom was so fast acting and he couldn't get help in time. At the end of the day though just remember no-one is to blame. Very sad.
Probably not the right time to suggest it but if Gareth is keen on exploring options at Sabi Sabi, he could contact Eugene Fourie (safarimng@sabisabi.com or 013 735 5656) - they're busy running a ranger course at the moment, so may well be looking for qualified guides.
