Training of NRT scouts continues

Category: General | Date: May 28 2008 | By: Seamus

We’re in the midst of training the NRT scouts. The two-day course includes basic lion biology, how to identify individual lions, how to age lions, some tracking, tips ‘n tricks for monitoring large carnivores and handling conflict, how to deal with man-eating lions (which are apparently a serious problem in their area at the moment), an introduction to carnivore conservation in southern maasailand, and a few other bits ‘n pieces. Here is a photo from one of our lectures yesterday. Maria in the black dress, partly out of shot. Ernest perched on a buffalo skull on the left, in the blue jacket. I got to hold the clipboard. The rest of the folks are scouts.

Do you reckon the next time you have one of these training sessions you might have room for one more student?

Mmmm - Don’t tell me - you donated your flip flops to save the Whales! I also have to agree with the admin team and say this training sounds very interesting if you have space for another! Bags not sit on the broken chair tho and I promise to leave my socks and flip flops at home. :)

M - If you can get my donation reporting widget up on my sidebar by Monday next week you have an open invitation. Anytime.

MC- I’ll not have any of this talk of Mfalme being a Flop. Love the moniker by the way. If were just a little fatter I would refer to myself as Herman Melville, in honour of the colour of the big fish who is not a fish.
