As mentioned at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"WildTiger (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wildtiger.org\" target=\"_blank\">WildTiger<\/a>, the Leopard Refuge Station (LRS) is a high priority, I&#8217;ll explain in a more detailed update soon but I will be working in isolation to make things are functioning ok at the LRS from this point.  Below are a couple of quick posts I made at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jackkinross\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Facebook (opens in a new tab)\">Facebook<\/a> this morning but as I say, from this point, this is where the main updates will be.  My very best to everyone in what is a very fluid situation for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/wildleopard.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Image-35-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildleopard.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Image-35-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildleopard.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Image-35-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildleopard.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Image-35-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildleopard.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Image-35-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> A lot going on right now, for everyone, once again, take care, social distancing is the most effective tool. I haven&#8217;t been able to reply to all messages. Just know that at this end, as I&#8217;ll explain in a blog soon, the care and protection of wildlife and the people living with big cats is still foremost in our focus. When rewilding the leopard Asa, at one stage I went around 8 months without seeing a motor vehicle, was often isolated &#8230; although often a leopard was with me, when he wasn&#8217;t off doing his thing.&nbsp;&nbsp;One can still be very productive working in isolation, that is the situation right now&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> And just a final thing for now, as I&#8217;ve just communicated to the team here, in Aotearoa New Zealand native language (Maori) we have a saying &#8216;KIA KAHA&#8217; which means STAY STRONG. We&#8217;ve all witnessed some very poor decision making by individuals and leaders who didn&#8217;t take this thing seriously enough despite the warnings. That is what it is. Now it&#8217;s a matter of making the right decisions for the good of all, we can make the world a much better place once we get through this.
