Contrary to what I wrote before, I believe it is still iffy whether Lucky is going to den with Holly or not. He was in with her. She made a quick movement with a hind foot, and he moved outside. Is this den too small for the two of them to use comfortably despite what seemed to be contented efforts to share it? We can only wait and see.
Today, gusts of wind released showers of birch leaves.
An unusual meeting today was brainstorming how the Ministry of Education of a Central American country could intensify student interest in wildlife. The meeting here at the WRI was with the brother of that country’s President and with an old friend who is that nation’s Executive Director under the President. As part of that, they are interested in creating a Wildlife Center similar to the Bear Center that we’ll visit tomorrow. Their knowledge of the world and its problems and needs was impressive as well as their desire to share the importance of conserving their country’s wildlife.
Thank you for all you do,
Lynn Rogers, Biologist, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center
