Reflections: A shitty day turned good...


I woke up grumpy. The article about the Tarkine (I posted it two back) had really affected me, the environmentalist movement here in Australia is not taken seriously by the majority. In the main everything is about money. Money, money, money.

 I headed into Ku ring gai National Park with my good friend and colleague Marty Coss for some filming from a canoe, eagles the focus but eyes open for everything. And there was a lot. It was a stunning day on the water. The reflections beautiful, the wildlife abundant. My mood improved rapidly. I finished the day with a 10km walk through the bush, the twilight was fantastic.

 I get to my laptop and there is a lovely email from Nepal, the Bardia anti poaching legend Ramesh Thapa had written thanking my organization WildTiger for its role in the big increase in tiger numbers over the last 3 years. Ramesh and I are hatching a new role for WildTiger's Hemant Acharya, we'll be announcing it soon. It really is a matter of just keeping at it isn't it...Kia Kaha, Stay Strong and I wish everyone a good weekend...
