I’m struggling to pull my thoughts together. Struggling even to sit down with my laptop and write this article. This Corona Virus is ever present in my thoughts and occupying far too much of my time. At least 3 Ways Corona Virus is hurting Wildlife Rehabilitation Centers ONE: Being distracted. Be honest, aren’t you also watching your screen for updates? Chatting with friends on Facebook about their experience? Wondering if the meager stash of toilet paper in your closet is going to last?

We were at Bambelela watching the orphaned young vervet monkeys in Kindergarten. An enclosure for those waiting for new families. It was June 2017. Two of our children, one spouse and three grandchildren had come to spend a couple of weeks with us in Africa. With so little time we could only visit our Wildlife Heroes that are close in. Silke was one of them. MK as the young black faced vervet was named watched us as…
