So much done, so little news.

It's been a while since the last post. Too much work, too much going on. But not really that much worth mentioning here.
Some things that did happen since the Christmas time.
I had two weeks vacation. And as usual, I had lots of things to do, but eventually didn't really do much. After that, it was back to work as usual. 
I took a look at how wildlife conservation can play an important role in stopping or even preventing pandemics. This is a very interesting topic, especially in these times. Dr. Niall McCann, one of the founders and director of National Parks Rescue, provided me with information on this topic, and I am planning to get deeper into it on the page Important Topics.
A further topic I came across, and which I also want to spend some words on in Important Topics, is the culling of wildlife. Especially elephants. There are voices rising for the culling of elephants in Kruger National Park and the first time I read about it, I was wondering what is wrong in Kruger National Park that the elephant population may become a threat to biodiversity, rather than a species that needs protection. A very delicate topic, I think. 
Earlier this week, I got in contact with a wonderful young lady from the area where I live, who is currently in Africa in one of the last stages of becoming a professional field guide. I'm hoping to get a chance to meet her in person someday soon (with a bit of luck, we might actually meet in one of the training camps in Africa). I think the world needs more young people who care about and respect nature and who are willing to spend their lives on wildlife conservation and showing others the importance of it.
As far as that is concerned, why not take a look at some of the organisations taking care of nature on your doorstep? It doesn't always have to be Africa, South-America, Asia or the Arctic. There's a lot going on in our direct vicinity and especially initiatives from young people deserve a lot more attention than they usually get. And you're currently on the internet anyway........
Last but not least, I had a chat with a journalist from a local newspaper. She will soon visit me for photographs and it could be there will be an article about me in that paper. I don't think I will ever be anywhere near celebrity status, and this particular paper is certainly too small to help me get there, but everything I can do to reach more people on the topics of wildlife conservation and. personal development is worth the effort. So stay tuned!
Hope you all have a good time and see you here again soon.
