Dear Cheetah Friends and Supporters in the UK:

I hope you received my most recent Field Notes, where I mentioned my upcoming trip to the UK.

As I am about to leave Namibia in a couple of days, I want to remind you of all the exciting events being organised in support of CCF's work, from lectures and wildlife photo shows - to a Cheetah Ball! I hope to have an opportunity to re-connect with long-time friends, and meet new ones.
