For anyone who questions why we are so passionate about Ethiopian conservation, have a look at this.
This is not new but it does give you a picture of the challenges facing Ethiopian conservation. Things are getting a great deal better. Government engagement has improved, park management (in some, if not all, the parks) has become much better and the understanding of the value of wildlife and the National Parks, particularly as a foreign revenue earner, is improving. We form a small part of the improvement and we are actively engaged in trying to spread the message.
There is quite a bit on Bale Mountains National Park in this short video. It was filmed well before our time but the park has changed little and it is just a pity that they seemed to have filmed during the wet season.
Hey ho, cant have everything I suppose. Guy
