Ever watch the movie ‘Gravity’?  At the end of the film, Sandra Bullock’s character climbs into the Chinese space station and tumbles back towards earth in a fiery constellation.  Interestingly, at the same time, my flight from Johannesburg to Nairobi experienced some turbulence that made the imagery even more impactful…..like a virtual reality.

Nairobi is quite wet currently, just receiving rain in the last 2 weeks……important considering the state of the livestock and vegetation.  Heading to Laikipia tomorrow to start scouting for giraffe and much needed field work.

Just returned from a meeting outside Kruger National Park in South Africa.  Goals of the workshop were to discuss areas for future research, develop ideas for collaboration, and to find ways to better conserve Africa’s ungulates.  Along the way, we encountered this big fella….who didn’t seem to mind our presence.  On to Kenya tomorrow with the hopes of seeing some reticulated giraffe.

Thanks for joining me!
