It is disgraceful that neither Biden nor Sunak have yet clearly condemned the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza. They rightly condemned the murder of Israeli civilians on October 7. Why not the ongoing murder of Palestinian civilians?

Looking forward to Vianet Djenguet‘s documentary on gorillas. He has deft, sensitive approach. His northern white rhino one was very good.

Bad news out of South Africa re rhino poaching. Pelham Jones of Private Rhino Owners’ Assoc tells me c600 killed in 2023, up about 152 on last year. 282 killed in KZN, mostly on provincial-run reserves. Disappointing as African rhino population seemed to recovering. Awaiting official confirmation.

Switzerland has a growing but not huge wolf population. The lbreathing space, with cull suspended, should be used by this rich country, to mitigate the conflict with wolves and compensate farmers for losses. if wolves have to be killed sell permits for limited shooting. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-e...

One of the most abiding villains in film and literature is Harry Lime, who profiteered during a pandemic, selling fake medicine.
Now, thanks to the corruption of Boris Johnson's contemptible government, the rich lists are swarming with Harry Limes.

Good news for rhino conservation, and reintroductions to regions where they were poached out. African Parks sends more rhino to Chad to reestablish black rhino there. VIP passengers: the five black rhinos flown 2,700 miles on a mission to repopulate Chad | Environment | The Guardian
