Great song. I hope you will post more songs.
The elusive leopard Sankuyat effortlessly climbs a tree, a beautiful sight.

Very sad news. I’ve spent time in the Masai Mara and nearby Naboisho Conservancy. It’s heartbreaking to lose these beautiful animals. Yes, only we, as humans can change this.
Same!

Inspiring women of Kenya. When F was 10, her father arranged her marriage to an older man. Distraught, F went to her teacher who intervened. F went to college and is now a safari guide. She is married with two kids and a trailblazer for working moms in her area.

Lenkisiau means big black mane. He’s part of a coalition of 3 male lions in a pride of 20 in the Naboisho Conservancy in Kenya. Naboisho means come together and the Maasai work with tourism and conservationists so animals and humans can live together peacefully.

I love seeing leopards when doing wildlife research because they are so elusive. This beauty named Spot had hunted a gazelle’s baby and the gazelle mama waited hours for her baby to return from the bush where it was dragged. Community conservation efforts in Kenya are helping endangered leopards.
Elephant herds are led by the oldest and largest females called matriarchs. They protect, guide, and teach the young. Elephants in Kenya are endangered due to poaching, climate change, and human-animal conflict. Community led conservation is helping.

Rhinos are poached for their horns and are quickly going extinct. Namibia hosts the largest population of black rhinos in the world due to successful conservation efforts that involves local communities.

Nourish Ecovillage in South Africa models what’s possible when a community committed to sustainability comes together. Everything is built with recycled materials. Children learn about the environment & job training is offered to adults. #nourishecovillage #recycling #ubuntu
The ancient people of NM were gifted astronomers and architectural engineers. Working at a dig in the area, I learned their buildings represent sacred landscapes aligned to the sun & moon cycles. Fajada butte contains a spiral aligned with the solstices.

Elephants are empathetic, mourn their dead, caress each other, and recognize individuals in their herds through unique vocalizations. Due to poaching and habitat loss, African elephants have decreased 60% the last 50 years.

Cheetahs don’t roar, but meow. Male cheetahs form coalitions of 2-3. There are less than 6,000 cheetahs in the world. As apex hunters they are important for their ecosystems.

Kruger Park is amazing. It’s our favorite place in SA.
Happy New Year!! May your year be filled with beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Meet Namunyak, which means the lucky one. She’s fast, a good hunter & enjoys naps in the shade with her son. Cheetah populations are down from 100,000 in 1900 to less than 7,100 now. Conservation models that benefit locals are changing that.

Maasai girls in traditional clothes. The Maasai are proud of their culture and traditions. Education is key to their success & environment. These girls dream about becoming pilots, doctors & teachers.

Great story about the need for wildlife overpasses and underpasses. Imagine how dangerous and massive a barrier that a two lane road actually is for a tiny frog or salamander.

Namibia’s giraffe population is growing due to effective conservation, but faces threats from habitat loss, illegal hunting, and droughts. Worldwide, giraffe populations are declining.
Giraffes live in groups called towers and moms form nursery groups to care for their young.

Oloisula means most beautiful one. He and his brother lead a pride of 20+ lions in Kenya. The pride consists of related female lions who hunt and care for the cubs. Lion populations worldwide have decreased 90% in the past century.
