February 2008: CEO, Martyn Murray and David Baird on mission in Kyrgyz Republic to hold a biodiversity workshop with 20 Kyrgyz and Tajik scientists to capture spatial information on important conservation areas in PATCA (Tajik National Park and proposed Alai National Park) and to prepare outline Species Action Plans.
January-April 2008: The manuscript of CEO, Martyn Murray's book The Storm Leopard is undergoing a 14th and final revision. The Storm Leopard is a journey through Africa and into the author’s life, but more than that it is an inquiry into the primary human dilemma of the 21st century - the need to balance our relationship with the environment.The book was inspired by Martyn's encounter with the Old Timer, a professional safari guide who predicted the end of all wild places. Thirty years later and still without an answer, Martyn sets off from Cape Point and drives to the Serengeti Plains, noticing the continents many enigmas along the way: trance-dancing Bushmen jostling with the policies of western economists; myths of spirit elephants in conflict with safari hunting; a farmer’s crop trashed by protected animals. These experiences rouse him both as a scientist and conservationist to discover whether the Old Timer is right. What is the implication of his fateful prediction? Can we improve our relationship with wild places to preserve all the benefits – environmental, spiritual and economic?
