For those wondering what can be done about the Grahamstown donkey problems Blind.love.africa are the only NGO working in our townships with local donkey owners not only to improve education, health and welfare but to sterilise male donkeys! This has never been done on this scale in Grahamstown and if you are one who worries about the donkeys in this town well this is the place to put your time/ donations/ money! Make a difference!

For everyone that knows me you know leopards are a big part of my life and work and my favourite wild animal! No matter what your views please answer this questionnaire as part of a larger project to help us manage leopard populations in the Eastern Cape.

********************************************************************************************
If you are at least 18 and based in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, please take about 10 minutes to complete this survey.
The survey is part of an independent PhD research project through the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology at the University of Kent, UK.
This survey is limited to participants from The Eastern Cape of South Africa. A South African-wide survey will follow in the 4th quarter of 2024.

The survey will ask you to express your agreement with different statements about “Sustainable Use Conservation” of dangerous wild animals such as leopards. Therefore, we ask you to rate all statements with leopards in mind. Your responses will help us to identify key conservation factors based on personal views, values, and experiences. Thanks so much!

Please click on the link to start the survey: https://universityofkent.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4NoRtIFyptFj4jA
(You can switch to Afrikaans at the top.)

Please feel free to forward this survey to other potential respondents based in the Eastern Cape in South Africa.
If you have questions or additional feedback, please get in touch with the PhD candidate, Christina Hiller ([email protected]).

I am never without my bracelet!

It looks good every day whether I’m at work or dressed up! It’s made from durable material that handles all that life can throw at it! And I throw a lot at it!

I love to feel like I’ve always got the horses with me whatever doing! And I can’t wait to see what else comes from this incredible collection!!

From the beginning to the end of our journey. One of the first of Seaview cats I had the pleasure of rescuing! We started with you in hospital with me, there’s a wonderful few years and we finished with you in hospital with me. And I’m so grateful you had every second in between in the most beautiful and well deserved retirement home! With the most wonderful family! You taught me so much and will be missed Siyah.

Our pretty little prince ❤️

Found this oldie today unexpectedly! The first time I had ever been in charge of a large scale wildlife rescue (45+ animals mostly big cats)!

And wow did it come with a hell of a support team but also a steep learning curve! Sometimes it’s incredible to look back on not just how much life has changed but on how much you have changed as a person!

Im collecting photos of my back … I am not sure why at the moment all the photos of me working are of me from the back but I’ve got to say the logo looks good from the back!

This big boy with a massive SCI needed to be moved into a new breeding herd! And were only too happy to assist!

Pretty much universally whichever species you are working with males like to fight. This male is no different, living with his brother they’ve had their fair share of scraps.

For this boy, we drained a lovely abscess from his face and removed a benign growth from his ear and he was back to playing (nicely) with his brother in no time!

Sometimes you just can’t help falling in love!

and I have been working closely with this cutie pie of a stallion to fix up his leg and remove his extra bits to get him safely into sanctuary!

His name is Prince and I love him ❤️

There’s only one other person I’d want to do this with but she left us ! We miss you! Happy birthday ! To many more adventures, conservation missions, road trips and highs and lows!

2023 Elephant Relocation first of its kind in the EC!

Check out the team in action! Posted @withregram • @theaspinallfoundation #FLASHBACKFRIDAY The Addo Elephant National Park, in collaboration with TAF, Conservation Solutions, The Wildlife Emergency Fund, and SANParks, has launched an innovative project to address the surplus of 300 elephants within the park. Recognizing the need for pioneering action, the park has undertaken the unprecedented task of translocating family groups of elephants. For the first time ever, family units comprising 6 elephants and 3 bulls have been relocated to the Bellevue Forest Reserve, while another group consisting of 6 elephants and 1 bull has been transported to Babanango, with the aim of establishing a new population. This groundbreaking initiative demonstrates the viability of translocating family groups as an effective measure to ease population pressures in Addo. Let us applaud this significant stride towards elephant conservation. Partners: @sanparks @wildlifeemergencyfund @conservation_solutions @bellevueforestreserve @babanango_game_reserve Funded by: @wildlifeemergencyfund @dcmsurfaces #aspinallfoundation #charity #ukcharity #animalcharity #donate #supportus #volunteer #fundraising #endangered #animals #backtothewild #rewild #animalprotection #animalconservation #wildlife #protectwildlife #conservation #helpconservation #nature #wildlifeconservation

It’s a delicate balance to know when to let go and when to hold on. Sometimes neither is right!#vet #wild #veterinarian #veterinary #vetmed #veterinarymedicinestudents #vetmedstudents #easterncape #southafrica #gtnvetclinic #wildlifevet #wildvet #rescue #release #rehab #rewild

A blessing to be part of the biggest elephant relocation in the EC to date. The first move of a herd of elephants from a public to a private entity. And the unity of a number of conservation legends to pull of a successful operation. Operations like this are essential to relocate genetics, reduce localised overpopulation, start new populations and rewild areas once populated by these giants. This ensures they have a future! @andy_malc @the_conservation_vet @theaspinallfoundation @conservation_solutions @damian_aspinall @wildlifeemergencyfund #belvueforestreserve #sanparks #addo #elephant #elephant #relocation #vet #wild #veterinarian #veterinary #vetmed #veterinarymedicinestudents #vetmedstudents #easterncape #southafrica #gtnvetclinic #wildlifevet #wildvet #rescue #release #rehab #rewild With my A team! @simonecoetzee19 @beckiebarnardt @joebarnardt @africanlegendswildlife

I love all things wild. Most people would not consider a domestic horse wild but when I watch my boy go; I can see the wild running straight through him. Horses like dogs, have been man’s best friend for centuries and for me it’s easy to see why! #wildvet #wild #wildhorses #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #vet #veterinarian #vetmed #veterinarymedicine #veterinarymedicinestudents #vetsinafrica #vetstudents #easterncape #tb #racehorse #thoroughbred

What just happened???? This big boy isn’t so sure what happened and how he got here! After a major dental procedure (the first of two) Joseph spent the night in his overnight house recovering and wondering what the hell just happened! He wasn’t this friendly when I needed to dart him FYI! #vet #wildlife #wildvet #wildlifevet #veterinary #veterinarian #vetmed #vetmedicine #veterinarymedicinestudents #lion #lions #cat #catsofinstagram #easterncape #southafrica

This special boy caused quite a lot of chaos when he escaped far out of his reserve into the mountain! Even with the chopper we struggled to reach him especially with the massive altitudes we were dealing with. Luckily he was well behaved and we were able to dart him and load him in the chopper to move him back across the mountain range to his home! He forms part of an important breeding line so having a gps collar on him gives us the ability to monitor him closely! Thanks to @sapmok for sponsoring my new vellies. They worked hard today climbing mountains and crossing streams looking for our boy. #sapmok #cheetah #relocate #rescue #dart #catsofinstagram #wild #wildlife #workonthewildside #vet #wildlifevet #veterinarian #veterinarymedicine #conservation #easterncape #karoo
