- About Me:
- Hi, I’m Vanessa, wildlife filmmaker and nature-lover since birth. I couldn’t help it, really. My dad is a naturalist by profession. (That’s someone who studies and teaches about nature. Not someone who runs around naked--that’s a “naturist.” A few letters makes a big difference in this case.) So, I grew up with a pet bullfrog who sang along with my piano lessons, and terrariums filled with snakes and spiders next to the dinner table. Our family vacations were canoe trips through The Everglades or Okefenokee Swamp. Sure, sometimes we went to the beach, but only if we were camping. Not exactly a typical childhood, but definitely interesting...and fun!
I always knew I wanted to do something with nature, and after trying to be a scientist and then an activist, I eventually picked up a video camera and found my calling. I got my start in documentaries working for the Discovery Networks and have produced both on-air and online content for Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Science Channel and TLC. I’ve also created outreach and marketing campaign videos for non-profits such as The Jane Goodall Institute.
Then In 2009 I founded NatureBreak so I could be truly independent and make the kind of nature films I think are interesting, exciting, and important. Plus, producing for the web lets me meet all kinds of people interested in nature like I am.

Bo turns up after three weeks
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.

Susan joins the ILP team
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.

Well here is my bit.
At least I am saving some trees, jet fuel, trucking fuel, errosion. nasty chemicals from paper making and inks etc etc by not sending "real" cards.
Personally I think "real" cards should be discontinued by choice. What a waste of resources, millions of cards from millions of people.
In the days of post only communications - it was fun to send/receive cards.
But what a terrific justification for Internet - to save all those resources and waste by sending "E" cards.
It is the thought that counts not the physical bit of paper and ink. But this is just my opinion. No bans from me!
Have a fun Xmas break and a great new year.
Gotcha!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ...

My wife and I have watched several of your videos now and enjoyed them all....except one and I'm sure you can guess which one. Yep the Bot fly larvae :-) that was quite gruesome, interesting but gruesome.You were very brave and I guess that's just one of the inconveniences that you have to accept when you visit tropical locations.
Anyway thanks for sharing and I look forward to browsing through more of your work.
Take Care
