I began work­ing for Hogle Zoo in 1989 and spent ten years design­ing, con­struct­ing and repair­ing ani­mal exhibits. The admin­is­tra­tion and staff of Hogle Zoo sup­ported me in my first trip to Africa and in my first African vol­un­teer projects. To this day, they con­tinue to sup­port the work that has been devel­oped in great part due to their sup­port and encour­age­ment. Members of the staff are not only sup­port­ive through their dona­tions of time and funds, but they are also some of my best friends.

Data Forms

ACK would like to thank Erica Hermsen for her time and patience in data entry and com­ple­tion of the 2007 – 2011 (through June 2011) con­flict reports. Other vol­un­teers and stu­dents have assisted us in enter­ing the forms, but some ques­tions were left blank by our scouts. Erica grilled the scouts for the infor­ma­tion that was miss­ing to deter­mine where the ques­tions were not applic­a­ble and where the owner/herder refused to answer ques­tions. The scouts enjoyed telling Erica the sto­ries about the farm­ers and their issues with the predators.

Mary & Cindy Working on the new Action for Cheetahs in Kenya WebsiteI am so grate­ful for the assis­tance of friends and fam­ily, espe­cially as I travel across the coun­try to net­work and fund-raise. This fundrais­ing trip has also been the chance to catch up with many peo­ple that I have not seen in sev­eral years. Wendy and Guy Debbas gra­ciously hosted my fam­ily, while we spent sev­eral days in cen­tral California. It was such a joy to spend time with my niece Brenda, great-niece Kenzie and Kenzie’s friend Allie “A”. Our visit with Dale and the staff/volunteers at Cat Haven was a high­light for my fam­ily after assist­ing with the fundrais­ing in the pre­vi­ous week.
