Sad loss of one cub but determination to save Asa grows...


 First of all I have many people to thank, many people who have become part of this. The interest, concern and passion has touched me as it shows that you understand how importantit is to save this little leopard. Asa, all going well, has such a role to play going forward. I have many people to reply to, I will get there, you all are playing vital parts in this... I know some of you will even visit Asa one day and it will bring home even more how vital your help is...
The loss of Asa's tiny wild cat companion overnight has highlighted the issues we are facing even more. I always felt the little one had an uphill battle but of course it is very sad nonetheless.
I will be honest and say I was concerned about Asa's state of mind this morning to the extent that I could not wait any longer for action to be taken. While things were progressing I felt a real sense of urgency. Sometimes knocking a little harder on the right doors is called for and several motorbike rides, many phone calls and a meeting with the head of the Forest Office finally produced a result... Asa will have a proper enclosure and proper care. There is still so much to be done and in many ways the hard work just got harder, I feel like I haven't slept since I don't know when... but look into that little face and what it represents, the relationship between humanity and our fellow species in a habitat we must protect with all our might.
I'll have more news tomorrow, more details and some exciting developments as to how a piece of technology can bring you real time images of Asa's life going forward... I just want the next few days to go quickly, get this thing done... thank you, we're all in this together, cheers Jack.
