I have become increasingly sad and disturbed about what is happening to wildlife, and the lack of interest that Governments seem to have (especially the African Continent) in ensuring that there is a healthy population of animals for the future, if the elephants, big cats and the assorted prey animals all become endangered or even extinct, there will be no tourism, which is a large part of Africa's income, if hunters are allowed to carry on killing for the pleasure of it, large areas of habitat are destroyed due to logging, and even more large areas cleared for farming, there will be nothing left in Africa but people and desert! the has to be a wake up call for the powers that be, instead of leaving the responsibility to small charities to save them! What can individuals such as I do to press the issue? How can we collectively put pressure on the Governments to reprioritise? I would dearly like to see large areas of land/habitat bought by ordinary people like me, and
have them "policed" and cared for by local populations, the present situation makes me angry and upset! and scared for the future of all our planets' animals!

Thats a dream worth having! The only snag is, who is going to give us the land to allow us to save the world? Those few who are helping the wildlife give up so much, they sacrifice much that most people value, but hey! who needs a mobile phone?
