We know eating cows is bad, in terms of methane which feeds greenhouse gases, the environmental impact of cutting forests to grow grass, not to mention the food miles on it. But when was your last steak? Mine was a week ago.
So as Crispin pointed out, if we who are educated with dozens of other food options, still munch on steak, how are you going to tell men who can’t afford an egg, not to hunt the only free source of protein their family has?
So the baby arrives tomorrow. Even though I know what I know. It’s still going to break my heart.
Today Lomela smiled at me for the first time. It was beautiful.

Viewed a doco on the ABC in Australia about the wonderful work that you are doing with the Bonobos and was so intrigued by the Bonobos and am so glad that people are taking care of them. Best of lucky with the Orphan, hope all goes well. Will definitely be monitoring your progress, so please keep blogging... thanks so much for allowing me to share in your wonderful experiences in the forests of Africa from a desk in Melbourne.

Lomela's eyes and face say so much about her long, painful journey to hell and back. Thanks for the daily updates re her condition. She's going to make it.
hey brunda, i feel the same way. I so admire people like Claudine because she gives everything in her to the bonobos. i feel like a helpless bystander sometimes, but one way i hope i'm helping is by telling people about them and what wonderful creatures they are.
hey charles, i bet you could do a beautiful painting...
i think she'll make it too. Mama henriette said she even tried to do Tory's test! next time, petit lomela, she said, you'll do it next time.
