A Tale of Conservation and Courage
I am delighted to have been given permission to re-post this recent gripping story of a snared elephant by Cathy Buckle, an acclaimed writer, blogger and author.
Cathy has been writing ‘Letters from Zimbabwe’ to her family and friends for 24 years. Her short emails have highlighted the difficulties of Zimbabwe’s dire situation, including the country’s corruption, land scandals, inflation, power cuts, lack of healthcare and many other distressing circumstances. But they also show the resilience of ordinary Zimbabweans and the beauty of the country’s wilderness and its caring people.
This story indirectly reflects how poverty also affects the well-being of wildlife. It’s a cycle of decline that we must stop… for the sake of ALL living things…
