Hi
All
Remember that 11 December is “International Mountain Day”. So grab a
friend and head for the hills. The purpose of this day is to remind you of the
importance of sustainable mountain development. For those lucky enough to live
in Cape Town, your nearest Mountain is seconds away. I was lucky enough to be invited to the top
of Table Mountain for a birthday party last Friday. Thank you Paula!! I never
get tired of that view. It keeps reminding me of how precious our natural
resources are.
Other interesting news is that there is a
new book out that looks really worth the read. See the information and link
below. I have not had the opportunity to source and read “Killing for Profit” so will
have to place an order for the Christmas Stocking. Anyone who has had the
opportunity to read this chilling book,
please share your views with the rest of us.

 Killing for
Profit
A terrifying true story of greed, corruption, depravity and
ruthless criminal enterprise…
On the black markets of Southeast Asia, rhino horn is worth
more than gold, cocaine and heroin. This is the chilling story of a
two-year-long investigation into a dangerous criminal underworld and the
merciless syndicates that will stop at nothing to obtain their prize. It is a
tale of greed, folly and corruption, and of an increasingly desperate battle
to save the rhino — which has survived for more than fifty million years —
from extinction.
Killing for Profit is a
compelling, meticulous and revelatory account of one of the world’s most
secretive trades. It exposes the poachers, gangsters, con men, mercenaries,
killers, gunrunners, diplomats, government officials and crime bosses behind
the slaughter. And it follows the bloody trail from the front lines of the
rhino wars in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique to the medicine markets
of Vietnam and the lair of a wildlife-trafficking kingpin on the banks of the
Mekong River in Laos…
