Reading your updates, David, and all your stories/teachings are always a pleasure and so very uplifting. Your adding a video and/or photograph here and there, makes such a difference. Lovely to see those precious Rangers receiving important training. Being a ranger can be rewarding but also a very challenging and extremely dangerous job. It is so sad that many lose their lives while trying to protect animals and the environment. The ellie reaching into your pocket for a food pellet was so sweet, not to mention Kadiki, Marimba, and Pickles.

I think the lives of many would be so impoverished, if you hadn't come our way.

Thank you for all you do.

Loved reading about the sanctuary. So good to know they are kept safe as possible to enjoy life. The pangolins are beautiful creatures so gentle and shy. I saw a picture of one in a cage and I cried at its expression. It was in such suffering. I despair of most humans so lovely to see such lovely cared for creatures. Thank you and the rangers and all involved.

Thank you David, so love to keep connected with the sanctuary. Feel grateful for growing up amongst this incredible wildlife, and now so far away in a country with very little wildlife I miss it. Good to know a little sub (along with so many others') is a help.

Dear David,

Thank you for bringing the issue of human predation in animal parks. For your readers who have young children, I highly recommend the book 'Walter Warthog' by Betty Leslie-Melville.'. It tells the true story of Giraffe Manor in Nairobii and the many misadventures of a lovable warthog named after Walter Cronkite. I read this book to 7-8 yr. olds for 25 years-- it is a heartwarming story, but also talks about the poaching of wild animals and the efforts by park rangers to protect them.

Love the photo of you and Kadiki!

Thank you for your sharing. Also that in sharing we get the chance to be, in a small way, part of helping

those delightful creatures and their human protectors. What a shame that all humans are not of that ilk, wouldn't the world be SO much nicer for all beings
