Last week in Part 1 of our update of wildlife heroes to watch this year we brought you four. A quick recap… Back in January 2018 we invited you to watch Five Wildlife Heroes making a difference for African animals. This group of five grew to seven. Their work ranges from saving wild lions from irate farmers in Tanzania to protecting elephants and their forest in Malawi. In the last seven months much has been accomplished, some sadly has been lost, but all in all, with your support many have been helped. Of course, more is still needed to keep the…

They pull away for a season to preserve their own sanity. A few…

Izak is heart broken when yet…
