Thailand Trip
Well, despite my best efforts the Internet has not cooperated with my plan to do blog posts from my trip. Otherwise you would be seeing photos of the latest batch of adorable cubs at the breeding project. I've now left the zoo and am having a bit of vacation over Christmas on an island called Ko Samet. It sure doesn't feel like Christmas as I know it here! Tonight I'll toast Christmas Eve with a banana smoothie and think about how blessed clouded leopards are to have so many people working hard on their behalf!

I'll post some photos and video from my trip when I return Jan. 1, so stay tuned.
Merry Christmas!

Thailand Clouded Leopard Education Planning
I'm off to Thailand in the morning to meet with our partners at Khao Kheow Open Zoo, site of the breeding center for the Clouded Leopard Consortium. I'm going to be meeting with the Education Dept. staff at the zoo to assess and plan for the development of wild cat education program/curriculum in support of our storybook and the clouded leopard program. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again and hope we make some good progress with our planning. Depending on my Internet access, I hope to post a few times while I'm there, so stay tuned!
