A real reason to SMILE!! THREE actually!!
Source:Wildlife Direct BY:Helen Dougla-Dufresne
THE FIRST REASON IS THESE TWO CAN SEE AGAIN, AND THE SECOND IS SOME OF OUR NEW PAN DAMS HAVE WATER IN THEM!!!!! THIRD "JUST AROUND THE CORNER' ART AUCTION was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
1. A brother and sister [above photo] had never seen each other before!! WHY?? Because they were born blind!! With the wonderful LIONS club Eye team, and MEAKs incredible organisation, and dedication and TROPICAIR's Generosity, well over 100 Nomadic people living in the Milgis Ecosystem, are better off than a month ago. About 140 Cataract and TPR (tracoma complications) operations were performed, but many were bilateral. 2. Some places had pretty good rain.. Certainly the big luggas were flooded for a few days. But the rain was very patchy, and some places had none. But a few of the pan dams, I am happy to say, have a little water in them. The people who have been absolutely struggeling for water in Aarge area were the luckiest!! I have to tell you that they deserve every drop they got, because they get the prize for not cutting one single tree down for their goats and sheep, no burning, and have been thoroughly responsible in every way. 3. Last but not least. the 'JUST AROUND THE CORNER' Art Auction has been and Gone, with absolutely unbelievable results. Well done ALL, and THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR BELIEVING AND SUPPORTING VOSS foundation AND MILGIS PROJECTS. LONG LIVE THE MILGIS ECOSYSTEM, its people, forests and wildlife!...

Two wild elephants invade Indian city
Source:MailOnline BY:Damien Gayle
At least one man was killed amid widespread panic when two wild elephants went on a three-hour rampage across a city in southern Indian. The raging elephants left a trail of destruction across a suburb of the city of Mysore, in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, after they wandered in from a nearby forest. One man, a 55-year-old security guard from the Bamboo Bazaar district, was trampled to death after he came out of his house to see what was going on.
An eyewitness said: 'The two elephants entered our city and started stomping over everything that came in their way. 'One of them even entered a market place and crushed a man to death within minutes.' Karnataka state higher education minister S.A. Ramdas told the AFP news agency the elephants entered the city from a nearby forest early in the morning. One elephant barged into a women's college compound and stalked the grounds, while the other wreaked havoc in a residential area. Schools and colleges were closed for the day, said Mr Ramdas, and extra police were deployed as forest rangers while staff from Mysore zoo tried desperately to contain the animals. After a three-hour hunt, the two elephants who went into the city were eventually brought down with tranquilliser darts and captured. They are set to be released back into the wild...

Timber firm threatens Amur tiger habitat in Russia
Source:International Business Times
A proposed UNESCO World Heritage Site is facing threat to its green cover which may also lead to extinction of Amur tiger with the shrinking habitat in Russia’s Primorsky Province. Last November, the Bikin River Basin was submitted as a candidate to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the initiative of the Russian government. Primorsky province in the Russian Far East is also one of the last remaining strongholds of the largest of all big cats, the Amur tiger, which numbers less than 500 in the wild and is on the brink of extinction, say WWF Russia and the Association of Indigenous Peoples of Primorsky Province.
Though tiger numbers in the Russian Far East have rebounded in the past 50 years, the big cat is still highly threatened by poaching, human-tiger conflict and exploitation of the area’s vast forests. According to the Living Forests Report released in April 2011, more than 230 million hectares of forest will disappear by 2050 if no action is taken, a disastrous situation for the estimated 3,200 tigers remaining in increasingly isolated pockets of habitat across 13 nations. The green groups are protesting the licenses given to JSC Les Export, a wood harvesting and export company that specializes in parquet flooring company. "This is our forest. We hunt here, fish here, gather medicinal plants here, harvest wood here for our personal needs," said Igor Kukchenko Vice President of the Association of Indigenous Peoples of Primorsky Province. "The inhabitants of our village Krasniy Yar have spoken out against the leasing of this forest tract by JSC Les Export and any other industrial logging in the Bikin," he added. On June 5, 2011, Krasniy Yar residents petitioned the provincial and federal governments not to permit leasing of the territory of the middle and upper reaches of the Bikin River for timber harvesting. The forests have also been under lease since June 2009 by the Indigenous Peoples Association (which has been named "Tiger") for the processing of pine nuts and medicinal plants...
