I am thankful for Pokemon. Never thought you would hear me say that about a game.  I hate games.  This one could bring some awareness though.  I added our two “gyms” and Poke Stops to our Safari Day offering on Oct 1 and am dragging the team, kicking and screaming, into offering some special week day tours for the game while it's hot.   I love Shipt as it allows me to go online, place my grocery order and have it delivered to the house.  I really hate shopping, so this is a great way to not starve.   I love Alibaba because I can order just about anything you can imaging and have it customized and shipped to the sanctuary in 2 weeks or less.  I created a little pin for the CITES CoP17 with a tiger head and those words.  I think people will proudly wear it as a souvenir at the conference and help us cover the convention in tiger thoughts.   Hi, I'm Carole Baskin and I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened.

Today is Jamie's 36th birthday   and I am so grateful that we have come together in this space and time to make a difference.   Jamie will be representing the cats at CITES this year and I couldn't be more proud!  It wouldn't be happening, if not for all the work Howie has put into it.  Judy Mills is the author of Blood of the Tiger and considered by many as the consummate expert on wild tigers.  Big Cat Rescue is paying her way and funding 1/3 to 1/2 of the side event in Johannesburg in October.  Howie has been the one to encourage her, Debbie Banks from the Environmental Investigation Agency, and Born Free to work together to raise the tiger and other big cat issue up before this international group.   I love that these and other former International Tiger Coalition partners are all coming together for CITES CoP17 and on International Tiger Day July 29 for all of the captive issues we are fighting.   Last night Howie and I watched Suffragette, a Meryl Streep film about British women fighting for the right to vote in 1912.  It gave me strength to push harder for the rights of animals to be treated with respect.   Hi, I'm Carole Baskin and I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened.

What a busy day! I woke up at 6am, which never happens, even though I go to bed at 10pm.  I figured I'd better get up though since the monthly AdvoCat had to be sent out today at 10am and I had not written a single word of it yet.   Got it done and launched, then Judy Mills and Debbie Banks of EIA, met w/ Howie and I over Skype for an hour and a half, to discuss doing a side event at the CITES CoP17 in Johannesburg, SA, to raise awareness about tigers.   Ran from that straight to a closing on the sale of 310 Thomasdale Av in Haines City.  Jamie called me from there, in a hurry for me to return to the sanctuary because Gale has already left for the Taking Action for Animals Conference in D.C. and Jamie wanted to take some of the interns bobcat tracking where Thor was released last month.  She will switch out the cards in the camera traps while there.   I have a week and a half of contacts left, so I had to call my eye doctor and order more.  I'd much rather do it myself at Contacts.com but he needs the money, so I order through him.  He can't take credit cards, so that means mailing a check.  All a huge hassle, but I figure he doesn't have that many more good years left to work.   Judy has been saying she can't go to CITES because she's a consultant who doesn't get paid when she doesn't work and she'd be gone 2 weeks.  No one could train Jamie better to take over all this tiger protection in the wild stuff, so I offered to do her job for her (reporting for MacArthur Foundation on Climate Change) and let her keep the money.   We were discussing what sort of giveaways or enticements to get people to come to the tiger event, which would include a 10 minute tiger movie and a 10 minute tiger talk.  I suggested we white label 100 bottles of wine with NOT Tiger Bone Wine and an educational piece about how farming tigers is driving the extinction of tigers.  We offer them to the first 100 people who come to and stay through the entire event.  Then contacted the hotel to see if they can provide wine.   Yesterday I wore myself out, dragging Nest cameras and an extension cord all over the place to see if I can pick up a good enough signal to broadcast for Nest.  It would be a great way to reach a new audience.  I have a lot more dragging around to do today, but it's 90 degrees and I'm not sure how much more I can stand.   Then I got this nice note:   Hi Carole and Jamie,  I hope all is well. Just wanted to let you know we have submitted everything to Animal Planet today and are just waiting for feedback from their internal development team. Once they have looked over it, it will be passed on to the commissioner.   This can take a few weeks (given the number of pitches they receive) but we have a good relationship with them so I am hopeful that we can chase this soon if we don't hear anything in the next few weeks. I will keep you posted, the team have done all we can here so we have everything crossed. Feel free to get in touch at any time but I will update you soon.   Have a great day!  Kind Regards,  Naomi Channell.

With the CITES CoP17 trade resolutions voted upon, now it's time to look that the ramifications of conservation by committee based upon the utilization model pressure of supply vs demand. With my guests Dex Kotze we can a real world idea of actual numbers, how many real world animals it takes to provide for an ever increasing demand in a legalized trade and the arguments that a legal trade can out compete an illegal trade. Pippa Hankison, the force behind Blood Lions, the film that blew the lid of the Canned Hunting Industry and Trade, the effects, fate and future of farmed ‘wild' life that lurk in the dark corners of unmonitored, unregulated, legal and illegal trade –the loss for lions out of CoP17 is the epitome of breaking down the value of the whole of nature into commoditized parts, available to the highest bidder. No matter how much we sell, nature cannot fulfill the demands of an ever increasing human population.

As we've been discussing over a long period of time, conservation models must change. We'll be spending several episode highlighting just how this is happening on the ground and the new faces and people that are coming up the ranks, picking up the torch from the old guard and adding the new components, skill sets and tools that are required in a very changed landscape- from climate shifts to shifta, terrorism, and transnational wildlife criminal gangs. My guest today is Nigel Kuhn, who you'll remember from WildiZe's Observer Team at CITES CoP17. Nigel brings us an understanding of not only what it's like to have grown up during some of Zimbabwe's most troubling times, but what it's going to take, and the people who are picking up the front lines of Conservation 2.0 World Version update, across the African continent and the world as a global community.

Right now rhino are at the razor edge of existence on Earth. Since the CITES CoP17 decision of ‘No Trade”, South Africa has hit the headlines big time with the announcement by the Minister of Environmental Affairs Edna Molewa publishing her notice of intention to amend the Invasive Species List, to delisting of Diceros bicomis michaelii (Eastern black rhinoceros) from the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act of 2004; and The Protected Species in of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act of 2004. My guest today, Loraine Liebenberg of Save Our Rhino, lay open a scathing indictment of what is happening at the highest levels across the board of the sub-context that surrounds rhino conservation and rhino horn trade in contemporary South Africa in a world that is politically charged globally, at the height hard fought success, there is a reverse trend down a path that seeks to put a price on everything

Trade in endangered species is about money and politics, and everything can be had for a price. Is the ultimate price the loss of the very definition of ‘wildness' when trade models based on privatized farming and domestication of the wild? When the poaching of wildlife happens inside the private fences and the breeders have blatantly stated that conservation is not their goal? Can breeders credibly cry wolf and animal cruelty when the value of the animal is only tallied upon its worth as a carcass or its parts? We're now seeing in earnest both the expected and the unexpected acid fallout and backlash of CITES resolutions and the interests at heart in predator breeding facilities. The way it's going so far, once again, it seems money will win the day as politics and trade negotiations put our earth and its living biosphere on the table to the highest bidders and the depth of what is wildness becomes sidelined.

Mongabay’s India-based staff writer Shreya Dasgupta appears on this episode of the Newscast to discuss key votes held at the seventeenth congress of the parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, also known as CITES CoP17. Representatives from more than 180 countries gathered in Johannesburg, South Africa for CITES CoP17, which closed on Oct 5. One of the largest environmental agreements regulating the international trade in wildlife, CITES currently regulates more than 5,600 species of animals and 30,000 species of plants. Decisions were made regarding pangolins, African gray parrots, elephants, and rosewood at the recent meeting. Also appearing on the show is Steven Alexander of the University of Maryland's National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center and the Stockholm Resilience Center. Alexander answers a question submitted by Mongabay reader Duncan Nicol: “What areas or questions in socio-ecological research need the most attention over the next decade?” But first, he explains what socio-ecological research actually entails, and provides a few examples. If you’ve got a question, send it to submissions@mongabay.com and we’ll get you an answer on a future episode of the Mongabay Newscast.
