Category: Uncategorized | Date: Oct 06 2009 | By: paula
While at the Jackson Hole Film Wildlife Festival the winner of this years winner was announced, it’s a film called “Green” by Charlie Hamilton James, Frederic Fouge. I met Frederic who surprised me when I asked for a copy of the film
- it’s available for free download on the interent. Here’s a great opportunity for every single illegal video store in the world to download this film legally for free and to show it to as many people as possible.
I’ve just downloaded it myself from this site

Cowboys and wildlife in Wyoming
Category: Americas | Date: Oct 05 2009 | By: paula
Dear Friends,
I am in USA attending a fund raiser, participating in the Jackson Hole Film Festival and going to PopTech! I am in New York for our board meeting today but wanted to share the most amazing experiences I had in Jackson Hole Wyoming.
But the thing I will remember most is the sight of cattle being driven from one ranch to another. The Sheriff stopped all the traffic so I had to get out and run to where the cattle were being herded across the road by the cowboys and girls. A fellow motorist stopped me and asked where the photos would be online …these are for you Mary Haworth. The following pictures were taken on the exhilarating morning of 3rd October.
Motorists had to give way to cattle and cowboys for a good half hour
Real cowboys with lasos!
Bringing up the rear were the calves.
This was my first sight of Real American cowboys - Amazing!
The people of Wyoming are amazing, friendly and …well just like us Kenyans. THe countryside is like Kenya too ….full of wildlife, and especially big dangerous mammals! I saw my first Elk, moose and chipmunk
Ok not big or dangerous but chipmunks are adorable!
Elk doe - these guys make a really eery weirdly haunting call all night - kind of sounded like whales singing. Bizarre!
Big daddy moose - check out his beard!
Grand Teton… this mountain looks suspiciously like Mt Kenya doesn’t it? No wonder I felt so at home in Wyoming!
I love America!!
There’s so much to share about what I learned in Wyoming …coming next - stories of human wildlife Conflict that make lions sound like mice!
