Comments on: WildlifeDirect blogs and bloggers get recognition http://baraza.wildlifedirect.org/2008/07/07/wildlifedirect-blogs-and-bloggers-get-recognition/ News from the WildlifeDirect team Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:26:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Judy in CA http://baraza.wildlifedirect.org/2008/07/07/wildlifedirect-blogs-and-bloggers-get-recognition/#comment-934 Judy in CA Mon, 07 Jul 2008 22:10:18 +0000 http://baraza.wildlifedirect.org/2008/07/07/wildlifedirect-blogs-and-bloggers-get-recognition/#comment-934 I hear your frustration since the fate of wildlife in Africa is in the hands of the locals living with the animals, the ones on the front lines saving the animals! all done with such small salaries, risking their lives. It makes me crazy that Eric would NOT mention who these people are. I recognized your new approach immediately after visiting wld's site for the first time and continue to donate and am hooked because they are the real heroes and being in touch with them and supporting their cause helps us realize and understand our direct relationship to saving this species. it's too bad you have to spend any time writing those grants and amazing your target audience doesn't get it? understand the changes taking place? What about the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation? didn't they visit the gorillas in Rwanda recently and understand how critical this situation is? save a species? I would want that on my bio. I just listened to the Stirton NPR interview; yes it's complicated but it can be done, get those rebels out of the forest, stop the charcoal trade, get the President of Rwanda to stop his support of Nkunda. I hope the Nat Geo documentary is broadcast again with an update on the fate of the arrested perpetrators.
