Interview with John Cash, CEO of Ur-Energy Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ur-energy-nyseurg-uranium-producer-targeting-22mlb-output-in-us-6676Recording date: 23rd April 2025Ur-Energy, one of North America's few active uranium producers, is making significant operational progress at its Lost Creek facility in Wyoming while preparing to launch its second mine, Shirley Basin, by early 2026. After facing production challenges throughout 2024, the company reported substantial improvements in Q1 2025, now consistently producing at around 400,000 pounds annualized.CEO John Cash indicates the company has secured seven contracts worth approximately 5.84 million pounds over the next few years, primarily with US utilities. These contracts include inflation escalation provisions, offering protection against rising costs. For 2025, Ur-Energy's contract commitments total 440,000 pounds, increasing to over 1.2 million pounds in 2026.The company estimates production costs of approximately $45/lb at Lost Creek and $50/lb at Shirley Basin as they achieve economies of scale, well below the current long-term uranium price of $80/lb. This provides healthy margins despite recent operational challenges that resulted in losses of $6.19 per pound in 2024, compared to a profit of nearly $31/lb in 2023.Development at Shirley Basin appears on schedule, with significant construction already completed. The company has made progress staffing the new operation and plans to hire approximately 40-50 more hourly staff by late summer to ensure proper training before production begins.As a US-based producer selling primarily to US utilities, Ur-Energy is largely insulated from potential tariffs and trade restrictions. The company could benefit from the recent Section 232 investigation into critical minerals, which explicitly includes uranium and might yield supportive measures for domestic producers.Cash believes the uranium market remains in a supply deficit, with many promised projects unlikely to materialize. He suggests prices might need to increase by another $10-20/lb to incentivize sufficient new production, highlighting the disconnect between projected and realistic uranium supply in the coming years.View Ur-Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ur-energy-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with John Cash, CEO of Ur-Energy Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ur-energy-amexurg-ramping-up-uranium-production-and-poised-for-us-uranium-market-growth-6233Recording date: 10th February 2025Ur Energy (NYSE: URG), currently the largest uranium producer in the United States, is positioning itself for significant growth in an increasingly tight uranium market. The company operates the Lost Creek facility in Wyoming, which has been the country's largest uranium mine over the past four quarters according to EIA data.The company is pursuing a two-pronged growth strategy. At Lost Creek, which is licensed to produce 1.2 million pounds of uranium annually, Ur-Energy is ramping up production with 21 drill rigs currently operating on site. Simultaneously, the company is constructing its second project, Shirley Basin, also in Wyoming. Expected to commence production in late 2025 or early 2026, Shirley Basin is initially licensed for 1 million pounds per year, with potential to expand to 2 million pounds.From a cost perspective, Ur-Energy has historically maintained competitive margins. The company expects Lost Creek's all-in costs to range between $45-50 per pound, while Shirley Basin's costs are projected to be slightly above $50 per pound. With current spot uranium prices around $70 per pound and term prices in the $80s, these operations are positioned to generate healthy margins.The company has secured its revenue stream through several long-term contracts with U.S. and European utilities, with prices ranging from the $60s to $80s per pound. These agreements cover approximately half of the company's production capacity for the coming years, providing stable cash flow while maintaining exposure to potentially higher spot prices.Ur Energy's management team, which has worked together for 18 years, brings extensive industry experience, with many executives having 30-35 years in the uranium sector. This expertise has helped the company navigate industry challenges, including recent supply chain issues and labor market constraints.The company maintains a strong financial position with $110 million in unrestricted cash as of September 2024, providing flexibility for growth initiatives and operational needs.Looking ahead, Ur-Energy is well-positioned to benefit from expected growth in uranium demand, driven by new nuclear reactor construction and the restart of idled capacity globally. Additionally, geopolitical shifts, particularly Kazakhstan's increasing orientation toward supplying Russia and China, could create opportunities for Western uranium producers like Ur-Energy.While uranium prices remain volatile, the company's combination of established production, growth projects, experienced management, and strong balance sheet offers investors exposure to the uranium sector's potential upside while maintaining operational stability.View Ur--Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ur-energy-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with John Cash, CEO of Ur-Energy Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ur-energy-amexurg-positioned-to-benefit-uranium-market-bull-run-5501Recording date: 7th November 2024Ur-Energy (AMEX:URG) is a U.S.-based uranium producer well-positioned to capitalize on the increasingly favorable outlook for nuclear power and rising demand for domestically sourced uranium. The company's flagship Lost Creek in-situ recovery (ISR) project in Wyoming is currently ramping up production towards its licensed capacity of 1.2 million pounds of U3O8 per year. Ur-Energy is also advancing its Shirley Basin ISR project, which is expected to come online in late 2025 or early 2026 and will boost the company's total production capacity to 2.2 million pounds per year.While the Lost Creek ramp-up has faced some challenges related to hiring experienced personnel and securing drill rigs, CEO John Cash emphasized in a recent interview that good progress is being made on these fronts. He also highlighted Ur-Energy's strong financial position, with $110 million of cash on hand, $33 million of expected revenues in Q4 2024, and no debt. This provides the company with ample resources to fund its growth initiatives.Looking ahead, Ur-Energy is focused on signing long-term uranium supply contracts with U.S. utilities at increasingly higher prices. Notably, about 50% of the company's licensed production capacity over the next six years is currently uncontracted, providing significant leverage to further gains in uranium prices. This is particularly important given that domestic U.S. uranium production is in very short supply, with only a handful of companies like Ur-Energy working to increase output. This dynamic bodes well for Ur-Energy's ability to command premium pricing in future contracts.On the political front, the Republican Party's victory in the recent midterm elections – including the return of President Trump to the White House – is seen as a positive development for Ur-Energy and other U.S. uranium miners. The Trump administration is expected to pursue policies that are supportive of domestic mining and work to streamline regulatory burdens, such as restoring uranium's status as a critical mineral.More broadly, nuclear power enjoys strong bipartisan support in the U.S. as a vital tool for decarbonizing electricity generation and enhancing energy security. This was evidenced by the unanimous passage of the Russian uranium ban earlier this year. Policy tailwinds at the federal level should help to accelerate demand growth and improve the operating environment for uranium companies like Ur-Energy.In conclusion, Ur-Energy appears to be in a strong position to benefit from robust fundamentals in the U.S. uranium market. With a growing production profile from its Lost Creek and Shirley Basin projects, significant exposure to rising uranium prices through its future contracting, a solid balance sheet, and a favorable political backdrop, the company offers investors a compelling way to gain leverage to the unfolding nuclear power growth story.While some risks remain, particularly around the pace of the production ramp-up and future contract pricing, the overall risk/reward appears skewed to the upside for Ur-Energy at current share price levels. As the U.S. and other countries increasingly look to nuclear energy as a clean, reliable source of baseload power, uranium miners with strong domestic supply capabilities like Ur-Energy should be well-positioned to create value for shareholders in the years ahead.View Ur-Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ur-energy-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Just outside of Anaconda, the hike to Lost Creek Falls is short, but rewarding. Cascading 50 feet down moss-covered rocks and dense forest, the falls offer a relaxing spot to take in the beauty of the park. Gaze up to the cliffs to spot golden eagles and bighorn sheep, and keep your ears open and you'll likely hear pikas calling out. If you prefer a longer hike or bike, take the Forest Service trail just north of the parking area. You'll enjoy traveling along Lost Creek through forests and meadows with views of the surrounding mountains.

From Georgia to Idaho, several states are undergoing potentially map altering changes as movements grow for counties to secede into other states. Some in Texas want the state itself to completely secede, while Lost Creek voted to be discontent from Austin. St George, Louisiana wants the same thing from Baton Rouge, as does Buckhead, Georgia, from Atlanta. Residents of Weld County, Colorado, want to move to Wyoming, and large parts of Oregon are seeking to become part of Greater Idaho. The growing sentiment is that things are only going to get worse, especially after CNN ran a story about how the idea that the US is a constitutional republic, where the law protects all people, is a conspiracy theory, and that we are actually a democracy, where majority votes rule and can take away individual rights. The House also just passed the NDAA, now automatically registering all 18 year old males for military service. The Senate Armed Services Committee added required registration “of women for Selective Service.” On the more supernatural side of things, from Alex Jones and Natasha Owens, to the Trump campaign, we are hearing about how the former President is literally God's gift to mankind. Although such rhetoric is clearly deranged, Oprah and others said the same thing about Barrack Obama, while some said he was the anti-Christ. Kids were made to sing his praise like some North Korean dictator. Congresswoman Cori Bush also just recently stated that she performed literal miracles - by curing their disease. The careless disregard for both politics and law, and for religious archetypes, is really evidence of a growing apostasy.-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

Interview with John Cash, CEO of Ur-Energy Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ur-energy-amexurg-a-proven-low-cost-producer-positioned-for-uranium-bull-market-5046Recording date: 10th June 2024Ur-Energy (TSX:URG), a uranium developer and producer operating in Wyoming, USA, is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the increasingly favorable fundamentals of the uranium market. With nuclear energy poised for a renaissance as the world seeks clean, reliable baseload power to meet rising electricity demand, uranium is set to play a critical role in the energy transition.Ur-Energy's CEO John Cash recently shared insights that underscore the company's compelling investment thesis. Utilities are signaling their need for more uranium in the near future and appear particularly interested in securing supply from Western producers like Ur-Energy. Not only is demand rising, but utilities are expressing flexibility on contracting terms, increasingly willing to accept market-related prices and even contracts without price ceilings. This shift in the contracting landscape directly benefits uranium miners.An underappreciated demand driver for uranium is the exponentially growing electricity needs of data centers. Cash revealed that some utilities are already seeing "tremendous benefit" and "immense" demand from data centers strategically locating near nuclear power plants to secure clean, low-cost baseload electricity. With data needs set to keep growing, this could provide sustained demand growth for uranium.Despite the promising demand outlook, Cash sees a persistent supply gap as the defining feature of the uranium market in the medium term. Few uranium companies are moving aggressively toward production, and ramping up supply is challenging in the face of labor shortages, rig scarcity, and inflationary pressures. Ur-Energy, however, has already done the heavy lifting with its Lost Creek mine up and running and its Shirley Basin project at an advanced stage.Ur-Energy's other competitive advantages include its potential to command premium pricing due to its low CO2 emissions profile, which is increasingly important to utilities, and its pipeline of development projects in Wyoming that can be brought online relatively quickly. With existing contracts providing a foundation of revenue, Ur-Energy has the flexibility to layer on new agreements opportunistically as uranium prices rise.In a world increasingly focused on energy security and decarbonization, nuclear power is experiencing a resurgence, and the uranium needed to fuel reactors is likely to be in short supply. As one of the few current producers with a strong growth pipeline and ESG-friendly, US-based operations, Ur-Energy is a prime investment opportunity to gain exposure to the uranium boom.View Ur-Energy company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ur-energy-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with John Cash, CEO of Ur-Energy Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ur-energy-incamexurg-securing-high-value-contracts-and-uranium-production-ramp-up-3863Recording date: 4th March 2024UR-Energy (AMEX:URG), a Wyoming-focused in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium producer, presents a compelling opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on the improving uranium market fundamentals. The company has been producing from its flagship Lost Creek mine since 2013, demonstrating its technical capabilities and low-cost structure. With Lost Creek production ramping up and the fully permitted Shirley Basin project waiting in the wings, Ur-Energy offers visible production growth potential in a rising uranium price environment.A key differentiator for Ur-Energy is its status as a proven producer. Lost Creek has operated continuously for over a decade, showcasing the company's ISR expertise. The mine is licensed for 1.2 million pounds per year, while the processing plant is permitted for 2.2 million pounds per year. This excess capacity provides important flexibility, allowing Ur-Energy to process uranium from its other projects or even toll process material for other producers in the area.Beyond Lost Creek, Ur-Energy is advancing Shirley Basin as its next production source. Shirley Basin is fully permitted and ready for construction, with the company waiting to layer in additional sales contracts before proceeding with development. This disciplined approach ensures Ur-Energy will have a clear economic case for the project before committing the capital.Underpinning the Ur-Energy story is a uranium market in the early innings of a bull cycle. Demand is rising, driven by new reactor buildouts, while supply remains constrained. This has created a growing gap between supply and demand that should support higher uranium prices in the years ahead. Ur-Energy is well-positioned to benefit from rising prices through a combination of uncontracted production and long-term contracts.Ur-Energy offers investors a compelling mix of low-cost production, visible growth potential, and exposure to an improving uranium market. With a proven management team, strong project pipeline, and disciplined focus on economics, the company is well-positioned to create value for shareholders in the coming years. As the uranium bull market continues to unfold, Ur-Energy should be on the radar of investors looking for exposure to this growing opportunity.View Ur-Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ur-energy-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Bruce Lane, Executive Director of GTI Energy LTDOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gti-energy-asxgtr-revitalizing-wyomings-historical-isr-uranium-district-4419Recording date: 10th January 2024Australian uranium explorer GTI Energy is aggressively advancing its Lost Creek project towards production in Wyoming's prolific uranium district. Recent confirmation drilling has verified historical data, with mineralization intersected at depth beyond earlier drilling. GTI sees potential to delineate over 10 million pounds of uranium resources, sufficient to support a centralized in-situ recovery (ISR) processing plant in the district.With capital costs estimated at $75-100 million for the processing facilities and wellfield infrastructure, the project requires additional scale. However major uranium miners active nearby point to robust economics from ISR operations in the region even at conservative long-term prices. GTI's Executive Director Bruce Lane highlights free cash flows ranging from $30-50 per pound based on all-in sustaining costs reported locally.This potential upside as resources grow has prompted plans for further drilling both at Lost Creek and the company's nearby Green Mountain project. While equity financing remains an option, GTI is also actively engaged with North American institutional investors to broaden funding avenues and awareness amidst rising global uranium prices.A strengthened on-the-ground presence in Wyoming will reinforce GTI's position amongst local miners and the project's strategic location for development. Past confirmation drilling has already derisked the historical database supporting current resources. Planned drilling aims to unlock the substantial expansion potential remaining from extensive past exploration across GTI's claims during uranium's 1970-80s boom era.With global nuclear growth driving a pending supply shortfall, GTI Energy offers investors exposure to a potential near-term producer in a premier US uranium district on the doorstep of hungry nuclear utilities. Assuming delineation drilling confirms sufficient volumes, the project's centralized ISR processing plant could reap significant margins to underpin strong investment returns._View GTI Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/gti-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode we chat to John Cash, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of Ur-Energy who engages in the identification, acquisition, exploration, development, and operation of uranium projects and currently own and operates the Lost Creek in-situ recovery uranium facility in south-central Wyoming. John has nearly 30 years of experience in uranium exploration, radiation safety, regulatory and legislative affairs, uranium recovery operations, and international trade, as well as extensive management experience. Before joining Ur-Energy, he worked for established uranium mining companies, including BHP, Rio Algom Mining, and Crow Butte Resources, a subsidiary of Cameco. He talks about why venture capitalists are so hot on nuclear energy, the future of energy supply, uranium stocks and ETF, how geopolitical risks and project development challenges could constrain global uranium supply, and how to tackle the looming shortfalls. KEY TAKEAWAYS John Cash has over 30 years of experience in the uranium industry and has dedicated his entire career to this sector. Ur-Energy is a publicly traded uranium company that owns and operates the Lost Creek in situ recovery uranium facility in Wyoming. The company utilises in situ mining technology, which involves injecting CO2 and oxygen into the mineralised uranium zone to dissolve the uranium and pump it back to the surface for processing. Geopolitics plays a significant role in the uranium market, particularly with Russia's dominance in uranium refining and potential supply disruptions due to geopolitical tensions. The US defense sector may increase its demand for uranium in the future, requiring the establishment of domestic enrichment facilities to ensure national security. BEST MOMENTS "It certainly is an exciting time in the uranium space."  "The advantages are the capital expenditure is minimal. The environmental footprint is very small and the operating costs tend to be very low."  "Russia really dominates the world in those two steps with conversion and enrichment."  "We're going to continue to ramp up production at Lost Creek, working as hard as we can to do that."  "We would love to sign three, four, five more contracts within the first quarter to two quarters of next year."  VALUABLE RESOURCES Mail:        rob@mining-international.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ X:              https://twitter.com/MiningRobTyson YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DigDeepTheMiningPodcast  Web:        http://www.mining-international.org Guest Website: https://www.ur-energy.com/ Guest X: https://twitter.com/ur_energy  ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is the Founder and Director of Mining International Ltd, a leading global recruitment and headhunting consultancy based in the UK specialising in all areas of mining across the globe from first-world to third-world countries from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In today's podcast, we're thrilled to introduce Wayne Heili, who serves as the Managing Director and CEO of Peninsula Energy. For those who follow TMTM closely, you may recall that we discussed Peninsula Energy (ASX: PEN.ASX) in our OrderPad episode back in May 2023, specifically on the 19th, when its share price was trading at 15 cents.As we bring you this episode, the share price has seen a growth, now trading around $0.18. Given that Peninsula Energy is all set to become the next significant uranium producer in the United States, we can't wait to explore more about the company with Wayne.Before we proceed, here's a glimpse into Wayne's background.

Some of these towns have a clearly recorded history, while many others have been lost to folklore. A few of the most unique West Virginia town names have unclear histories: Booger Hole, Hoo Hoo, Looneyville, Brohard, Peewee, Cucumber, Left Hand, Burnt House, Lego, Sassafrass, Kitchen and Scrabble.  But for those town names we do know the stories behind, some of the histories are just as colorful as the names themselves. For example, the Summers County community of Jumping Branch was named by settlers who entered the area using a fallen log across a creek.

The Charmco Building, constructed in 1914, overlooks GoMart Ballpark. “From what I've seen so far, obviously we're here every day, it appears they're trying to save the initial structure,” General Manager of Charleston's Dirty Birds Jeremy Taylor said. “They've taken a big, long garage off the side of it and the back of the building off, and it seems now they've moved inside the side of the building to work on that.”   The plan is to create a mix of studio, one bedroom and two-bedroom apartments in the former mill. Taylor said he thinks the reconstruction is a great way to invite more people to the ballpark and to some of the other venues in downtown Charleston. “Everybody had big, bright ideas for it. To me, it's a positive because I like to see more people living downtown,” Taylor said.

Lost Creek Construction was built on a legacy of excellence, honesty, and exceptional quality that has spanned generations. Starting on his grandfather's ranch in Southern Utah as a boy, Tom learned the value of hard work, the strength in teamwork, the importance of doing your absolute best, and the joy of creating lifelong beauty. When Tom founded Lost Creek in 2012, he honored his grandfather by naming his company after that very ranch. It serves as a daily reminder of where he came from and the legacy he wants to leave his own children… building the very best.Before founding Lost Creek Construction, Tom (who holds a Construction Management Degree from BYU) worked 10 years as a project manager in commercial construction. His successful, decade-long career has proven to be an invaluable experience with the demands of strict standards, precise estimates, accurate budgets, and aggressive schedule management. A woodworker at heart, Tom decided to pursue his lifelong dream and build exceptional custom homes. His integrity and passion for his work shows in every detail of every single project he completes.Sponsors:Visit https://buildertrend.com/aft/ to get a 60-day money-back guarantee on your Buildertrend account!Pella Windows & Doors - https://www.pella.com/Events:Learn More/Register for Contractor Coalition Summit November 06-09 https://www.eventcreate.com/e/contractorcoalitionsummitTopics Discussed: [00:02:51] Joining Builder 20 Group[00:12:02] Training & Info.

2012 Annual Report    Big Cat Rescue is more than just a place that provides permanent care for big cats.  It is a movement;  a change in the tide of human perceptions and is the combined effort of more than 79,000 supporters.  If you are one of them, you are a Big Cat Rescuer and the following is the great work YOU did!  If you haven't helped yet, you can do so now at the top right of the screen or here:  http://bigcatrescue.org/donate   Big Cat Rescue's Mission Statement:  Big Cat Rescue's dual mission is to provide the best home we can for the cats in our care and educate the public about the plight of these majestic animals, both in captivity and in the wild, to end abuse and avoid extinction.  We are Caring for Cats and Ending the Trade   Advances:  With your help we are winning in the battle for compassion! Up until 2003 the number of requests for rescues we had to turn down due to lack of space or funds had roughly doubled every other year, to 312 that year. We feared it would double again to over 500 in 2004. Instead, it has steadily declined since then thanks to the passage of a federal bill and several state bills that restrict the ownership of exotic cats. This year there were “only” 85 big cats who came to our attention as being abandoned.  Note that 69 of them came from failed pseudo sanctuaries.  We were able to take in 7. We offered to take all of the cats who were cougar size or smaller, if their owners would contract to never own another exotic cat, but the rest refused.  We just do not have enough Senior Keeper staff to take on more lions or tigers than the three we took this year.   Volgistics became our new time tracking service on Jan 1, 2012 and has replaced our use of Freshbooks.  Everyone seems to like the big buttons and easy check in and check out process.   Animal Care:  By the end of this year, 96 of our 101 exotic cats are over the age of 12;  80 of those are over the age of 15; and 19 of those are over the age of 20. This is well beyond how long they are designed to live in the wild and much older than most zoo cats.  This is a testament to the excellent animal care we provide, but we are dealing with many more age related illnesses and are losing more of our big cat friends every year.   We use operant conditioning to enable much of our vet care without the necessity of anesthesia, which is very hard on the cats, but despite that, 43 of our animals had to be sedated for vet care in 2012.  We also performed 6 Necropsies:  (most performed for interns, all with Dr. Justin), had 4 high ticket Special Surgeries at Blue Pearl, had 2 intricate specialized surgeries by Dr. Hay, 4 on-site dentals by Dr. Peak and vaccinated 84 cats, in addition to countless trips to Ehrlich Animal Hospital to have the cats treated by our volunteer vet, Dr. Liz Wynn.   Rescues:  With the help of some very special donors we were able to rescue 4 bobcats, two Savannah Cat hybrids and two kittens that were reported to be bobcats, but who turned out to be tail-less Manx.  One of those bobcats was Rufus who came in to a Rehabber on Dec 5 weighing 4 lbs, with a broken jaw, split canine and comatose.  They figured he had been hit by a car, but at 4 lbs couldn't believe that he survived.  After he woke up from the coma he was pretty loopy, but they figured the impact had done brain damage.  They had to wire the jaw shut, tube feed him and removed the broken canine. He appeared to be blind and was having bad and frequent seizures, that ultimately cut his life short, but he touched all of us deeply.   On 12/12/12 we had another perfect USDA inspection.   3 of our Cat-a-Tats were expanded with room additions, four of them had major renovations and five tunnels were installed to join cages to give the cats more room, including our first overhead tunnels.  We constructed new Outdoor Recovery Cage and made major renovations to the Hospital Recovery Cage.  We provided emergency rescue for a fox and a hawk, in addition to the bobcats.   Education:  Our website, BigCatRescue.org underwent a painful renovation from a static html site to a WordPress CMS site during 2010 and 2011.  All of the page names had to be changed to fit the new system which meant a huge drop in traffic and initially a huge drop in inbound links, although, by the end of the year we had gained more than a thousand more inbound links than we had before, so it is going to prove a worth while move.  The site has suffered some major issues and has had to be moved to larger and more powerful servers as our traffic is back up to about 1.5 million new visitors per year.  Our website is primarily an educational tool and according to Alexa we are ranked 445,200 worldwide and 102,750 most visited website in the U.S.  in 2012.  We have 1,110 other sites linking to us.   Our web site addresses local and global concerns about environment and has over 9,213 pages of information, movie clips, sounds, safe interactive online games with a conservation theme and photos.  In any given week the visitors will be from more than 200 countries outside of the U.S.   The information provided has helped wildlife rehabilitators identify animals and obtain proper care instruction, helped officials in smuggling cases to identify rare species of exotic cats being illegally traded and those are just a few of the ways that we know the site has had an impact this year.   We offer about 200 outreach and field trips per year and have committed to offering 12 of them for free each year to lower income schools, but have given 18 such free tours this year and expect that demand will continue to rise with the cost of transportation.  Even when we offer the tours for free, many schools cannot come because they cannot afford the $200.00 fee for their busses.  Our Education Department has been writing grant proposals to raise the money needed for the buses.   Big Cat Rescue has been in the press 125 times, in 42+ states including AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, GA, FL, HI, IA, ID, IO, IN, IL, KY, LA, MA, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, NC, OH, OK, PA, SC, SD, TN, VA, VT, WA, WI & WV and dozens of programs of national or international coverage or in countries other than the U.S.   Award Winning Sanctuary:  Great Non Profit 2012 at Great Non Profits.  We have received this award every year since they started awarding it in 2010 due to the many great reviews we get from visitors and donors each year.  Named as Top Day Trip for Families.  2012 CBS Tampa ranks BCR as one of the top “Day Trips for Families” http://tampa.cbslocal.com/top-lists/best-day-trips-for-families-around-tampa/  Best Place to Work:  Big Cat Rescue was nominated to The Tampabay Business Journal as one of the best places to work.   Legislation/Education:  The steady increase in legislation banning private ownership represents recognition by our society that private ownership leads to massive abuse.  Social values evolve.  It took decades to ban slavery in England and for women to win the right to vote in America.  Those ideas started out as “radical” and were held by a small minority.  Gradually more and more people understood and agreed until they became a part of our value system that we take for granted today.  The same trend is happening with private ownership of exotics.  Gradually more and more people are realizing that this simply leads to widespread abuse of these animals.  The best evidence of this is the accelerating trend in state laws.   Just since 2005 nine more states have passed some level of ban. Sweden, Austria, Costa Rica, India, Finland, Bolivia, Greece, China, the UK and Singapore have all banned or restricted the utilization of big cats in circuses-it's time for the U.S. & South Africa to do the same!   Wins for the Big Cats in 2012: Ohio Bans Private Possession of Most Exotic Cats: On June 5, 2012 the state legislature banned the private possession of dangerous wild animals, including most exotic cats. Those who have the animals must register them but cannot buy or breed more. The only exemptions for breeding are AZA accredited zoos (and ZAA for now, but that needs to change) and sanctuaries that are accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries can continue to rescue wild animals. Up until now Ohio was second (behind FL) in the nation for the number of killings, maulings and escapes by big cats.   • Oprah Announces No Fur in Her O Magazine: The October 2011 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine announced its decision to never feature real fur in the magazine and only use cruelty free materials in its stories, including no leather or exotic skins. This decision was broadly embraced by the readership. • CA, West Hollywood Bans the Sale of Fur: West Hollywood, CA became the first city in the nation to ban the sale of fur. With a three to one vote (with one abstention) the City Council approved the ordinance. The rule faced opposition from the local Chamber of Commerce, whose main trade group, The Fur Information Council, happens to be based in West Hollywood. Nearly half of the 200 stores in town sell at least some fur items and it is estimated to account for approximately $2 million in revenue each year. The measure will take effect on Sept. 21, 2013. • NY, New York City Bars Ban Fur Clad Customers: Bar owner Johnny Barounis, a vegetarian, refuses to allow patrons wearing real fur to enter his trendy bards in Manhattan. His bards include Revision Lounge and Gallery in the East Village, the Back Room on the Lower East Side, and Auction House and Fetch, on the Upper East Side. ”We tell people, you are welcome to come in, but the fur stays out” said Barounis. • Holland: The Holland Circus will no longer include wild animals in their shows. Here is a link to the dutch article: http://www.nu.nl/binnenland/2992728/circus-renz-stopt-met-wilde-dieren.html • UAE Ajman: Jan 2012 became the first emirate to ban the keeping of dangerous animals in private homes. Last July, a two-year-old girl was attacked by a lion cub in Ajman and had to be rescued by a maid. • Greece: Feb 3, 2012 The Greek Government has banned the use of all animals in circuses following a campaign by ADI and the Greek Animal Welfare Fund (GAWF), backed by over 50 local animal protection groups across Greece. The new animal protection law also addresses a number of important issues concerning stray animals. • Bogata, Columbia and Paraguay Ban Wild Animals in Circus Acts June 2012: Hot on the heels of the news last week that the Colombian capital Bogota is to ban all animals in circuses, Paraguay has announced a nationwide ban on wild animals in circuses. Animal Defenders Intenational (ADI) applauds Paraguay for becoming the latest country to ban the use of wild animals in circuses under Resolution 2002/12 passed this week by the Secretary of the Ministry of the Environment (Secretaría del Medio Ambiente). Since ADI launched a major undercover investigation of animals in circuses in South America in 2007, a series of bans have swept across the continent as Governments have acted decisively to end the suffering of these animals. Bans are in place in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and now Paraguay. Legislation for a ban passed its second reading in Colombia earlier this year and legislation for a ban is well advanced in Brazil. • China July 20, 2012: Wildlife conservation and forestry departments of northeast China's Heilongjiang province announced that visitors will soon not be allow to pay for pictures with Siberian tiger cubs in a tiger park.   When our CapWiz account came up for renewal on Dec 31, 2012 we switched to VoterVoice for our CatLaws.com site.  At the time of the move we had 73,503 supporters in our AdvoCat database.  We loved CapWiz, but VoterVoice promises all of the same great tools for half the price so we are going to try them out for 2013 and see how they compare.   Animal Abusers Exposed, Shut Down and / or Fined:  Big Cat Rescue enabled several under cover operations to gather evidence of exotic cats being abused, bred without regard for where they may end up, violations of the Animal Welfare Act that pertains to the cruel treatment of big cats and endangering the public.  This information was presented to the authorities along with affidavits and supporting evidence that we hope will bring an end to much of the suffering in the facilities we selected as being the worst abusers.   • Dade City's Wild Things had complaints about shoving 8-12 week old tiger cubs in the pool and forcing them to swim with patrons who pay 200.00 that resulted in the Florida Wildlife Commission initially taking the position that it was not safe, but then the FWC reversed themselves and said DCWT may continue, what many people find to be cruel abuse, as long as they didn't shove the cubs back in the pool if they climbed out.  Now DCWT staff hold the poor cubs by their tails so that they cannot reach the side to climb out, but the FWC, despite numerous complaints, has failed to shut down these activities. • Inside Edition exposed Joe Schreibvogel of GW Park and the fact that at least 23 tiger cubs died at his facility. • The BBC's Show called America's Most Dangerous Pets with  Louis Therous suggested their show should have been named, America's Most Dangerous Pet Owners. • Animal Planet's Fatal Attractions interviewed Carole Baskin in Tigers Unleashed about dangerous exotic animal owners including Savage Kingdom's Robert Baudy and Lost Creek where Haley Hilderbrand was killed by a tiger while posing with the cat for her high school yearbook photo.   It appears that USDA did not pursue any of the exotic animal abuse cases to conclusion in 2011 or 2012.     Fundraising and Marketing:  Big Cat Rescue was reported favorably in the news 125 times in 2012.   Some of our national press included shows on  CNN,  MSNBC, National Geographic, Animal Planet, Discovery and the History Channel in addition to such publications as USA Today, National Geographic and the New York Post and major media coverage in several other countries as well.   YouTube and Revision 3 were the big news this year.  Revision 3, which is owned by Discovery, contacted us and asked us to be their first animal themed channel.  Thanks to this partnership and cross promotions with Animal Planet, we are experiencing more than 1 million views per MONTH!  By year end we had 359 videos and they received more than 15 million views in 2012.  We ended the year with appx 53,000 subscribers and 53 million views.  Check it out here http://www.youtube.com/bigcatrescue   YouTube Mini Clip Site:  DailyBigCat was launched Nov. 20, 2010 to provide a channel for the mini clips we upload directly from our iPhones.  By year end this site had 3,200 subscribers and 434,000 views.  We surpassed 79,000 fans on Face Book.   2 of 363 million If you search “big cats” our site comes up in position 2 AND 3 out of 363 million competing sites.  We also enhanced our presence on Care2.org and many other such sites.  We now have 500+ contacts in our LinkedIn presence here:  linkedin.com/in/BigCatRescue Our MySpace account now has 7,418 friends. myspace.com/1BigCatRescue  Mavrix Photo began using our photos in Dec. 2012   Google awarded Big Cat Rescue a grant of $40,000 per month in free AdWords. People who love animals love to share their photos and stories.  In 2008 Big Cat Rescue unleashed a Chat Big Cats community but in December of 2012 the underlying provider discontinued the free service.    Big Cat Rescue now has an Endowment Fund to provide a secure future for the cats. The Fund resides at the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay.  We initiated a program with Capitol One so that you can choose one of our beautiful cats for your credit card image and 1% of all of your purchases will be donated to Big Cat Rescue at no cost to you.   We were the Diamond Sponsor for the Taking Action for Animals conference in Washington, DC where more than 1,000 animal activists converged to learn more about legislation to protect animals.  We were a sponsor for Animal Coalition of Tampa's Stride for Strays, as we are every year.   One of Jamie Veronica's photos was accepted by the Fish and Wildlife Service for publication in their 2013 calendar.   We were interviewed by Animal Planet and featured as experts in their series, Fatal Attractions – Tigers Unleashed and another upcoming episode.   An article on Hope the bobcat was featured in Nat Geo Kids Magazine, with a teaser on the cover.   Saving Wild Places for Wild Cats:  In 2012 Big Cat Rescue donated $1500 towards Panthera conservation programs and outfitting rangers in other countries on behalf of our volunteers.   Helping Others: After delivering a couple of free webinars for the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS), and hosting their first in person 2 day Workshop in 2011, Patty Finch asked if the board of GFAS could use our facilities for their meeting. We were delighted to meet the members of the board that we had not met before and were proud to show off Big Cat Rescue to all of them.  Howard Baskin presented on our fundraising streams and the history of Big Cat Rescue and I shared how we use google Apps and how we manage over 100 top notch volunteers.   Big Cat Rescue provided our CatLaws.com service to Animal Coalition of Tampa in their efforts to send a powerful message to the Hillsborough County Commissioners on the subject of TNR.  Trap, Neuter and Return.   As with every year we supplied Free Passes, Certificates for Feeding Tours and Keeper Tours, and Two For One Passes to many other animal causes to use in their fundraising efforts.  We donate primarily to those organizations that are providing services to cats of all sizes.  We do donate to some human related fundraisers as well, but animal causes make up 3% of all charities and yet compete for less than 1% of all donated dollars.   Then and Now: Below are the audited financial statements of Revenue and Expense for the past five years. We pride ourselves in keeping our fundraising and administrative total expenses below 20%. Because our tour revenue exceeds our fundraising and administrative costs, 100% of donations go to Program Expense.   The majority of the increase in Program Expense in 2012 was the cost of lawsuits we filed in furtherance of our mission against what we believe to be one of the most notorious exploiters of tiger cubs. We prevailed in the lawsuit in early 2013. Without the generous support of our donors we could not have sustained this successful effort. Thank you!   Officers and Members of the Board of Directors in 2012 and meetings: • CEO and Founder  Carole Baskin (not compensated by BCR) • President and Chairman of the Board Jamie Veronica (not compensated by BCR for her role as a Director) • Secretary & Treasurer Howard Baskin (not compensated by BCR for his role as a Director) • VP Director Lisa Shaw (not compensated by BCR) • Director Mary Lou Geis (not compensated by BCR) • Pamela Rodriguez (not compensated by BCR) • Darren Kipnis (not compensated by BCR) • Keith Lawless (not compensated by BCR) • Kim Mahoney (not compensated by BCR) These members met for quarterly board meetings at the sanctuary.  The board met 4 times in 2012.   Paid Staff: • Operations Manager & Volunteer Coordinator Gale Ingham • Staff Manager, Editor & Creative Director Jamie Veronica • Gift Shop & Guest Services  Honey Wayton and Kim Dever • Project Manager Chelsea Feeny • Education Director  Willow Hecht • Vernon Stairs Cage Builder and Maintenance • Scott Haller Cage Building Apprentice and Maintenance • PT Operations Manager and Videographer and Social Networking Chris Poole • Director of Donor Appreciation  Jeff Kremer • Assistant to Operations Manager and Staff Relief Person Jennifer Flatt • CFO Howard Baskin • PR Susan Bass • LaWanna Mitchell is an independent contractor who works remotely on web issues. All of our animal care is done by volunteers or by staff who also volunteer time before & after work.   Volunteers:  Big Cat Rescue had 93 volunteers at the end of 2012 who clocked in 37,715 man-power hours in addition to staff, 25 interns (12,700 hours) and 5,658 Volunteer Committee member hours. Volunteers and interns provided roughly the equivalent workforce of 24 more full time staff.  Interesting breakdown of volunteers: We 93 volunteers; 75 women and 18 men.  The youngest 20 years old, the oldest 84 years old.  Between January 1, 2010 and September 10, 2012 Big Cat Rescue had 77 interns from 10 countries and 22 states.   Staff and Volunteer Training:  We want to say a special thank you to all of our staff & volunteers who have just completed their 10th year of service to the cats.  Several of our staff attended the Safe Capture Course, as we do any time they are in Florida.   Get our Financial Reports:  See our IRS 990 and audited financial statement for Big Cat Rescue at http://bigcatrescue.org/finances/  

2011 Annual Report   Big Cat Rescue is more than just a place that provides permanent care for big cats.  It is a movement;  a change in the tide of human perceptions and is the combined effort of more than 54,000 supporters.  If you are one of them, you are a Big Cat Rescuer and the following is the great work YOU did!  If you haven't helped yet, you can do so now at the top right of the screen or here:  http://bigcatrescue.org/donate   Big Cat Rescue's Mission Statement:  Big Cat Rescue's dual mission is to provide the best home we can for the cats in our care and educate the public about the plight of these majestic animals, both in captivity and in the wild, to end abuse and avoid extinction.  We are Caring for Cats and Ending the Trade   Advances:  With your help we are winning in the battle for compassion! Up until 2003 the number of requests for rescues we had to turn down due to lack of space or funds had roughly doubled every other year, to 312 that year. We feared it would double again to over 500 in 2004. Instead, it has steadily declined since then thanks to the passage of a federal bill and several state bills that restrict the ownership of exotic cats. This year there were only 15 big cats who came to our attention as being abandoned and we were able to take in 10. We offered to take all of the cats who were cougar size or smaller, if their owners would contract to never own another exotic cat, but the rest refused.  We just do not have enough Senior Keeper staff to take on more lions or tigers than the three we took this year.   Volgistics became our new time tracking service on Jan 1, 2012 and has replaced our use of Freshbooks.  Everyone seems to like the big buttons and easy check in and check out process.   Animal Care:   By the end of this year, 106 of our 119 animals are over the age of 12 and 89 are over the age of 15. This is well beyond how long they are designed to live in the wild and much older than most zoo cats.  This is a testament to the excellent animal care we provide, but we are dealing with many more age related illnesses and are losing more of our big cat friends every year.   Rescues:  With the help of some very special donors we were able to rescue Amanda, Arthur and Andre; 3 tigers who had been rescued in 2003 from NJ and sent to Wild Animal Orphanage in TX, which collapsed in 2010.  Max the baby bobcat came to us after the RI DNR seized him from an illegal owner.  5 servals, Zoul, Zouletta, Zimba, Santino and Doodles, who had been kept in a NY basement for 14 years were rescued.  Another serval named Kricket was also brought in from VA when her owner could no longer keep her.  We were also able to help with the placement of another serval, a bobcat and did a lot of rehab consultation work via phone and email.   One of those bobcats was Rufus who came in to a Rehabber on Dec 5 weighing 4 lbs, with a broken jaw, split canine and comatose.  They figured he had been hit by a car, but at 4 lbs couldn't believe that he survived.  After he woke up from the coma he was pretty loopy, but they figured the impact had done brain damage.  They had to wire the jaw shut, tube feed him and removed the broken canine. He is now about 7 lbs, is eating solids on his own and doing much better but appears to be blind.  He was having bad and frequent seizures, but those have almost subsided.  They have asked if we can give him a forever home if his eyesight does not return and we stand ready to help.  On 12/21/11 we had another perfect USDA inspection.   Education:  Our website, BigCatRescue.org underwent a painful renovation from a static html site to a WordPress CMS site during 2010 and 2011.  All of the page names had to be changed to fit the new system which meant a huge drop in traffic and initially a huge drop in inbound links, although, by the end of the year we had gained more than a thousand more inbound links than we had before, so it is going to prove a worth while move.  The site was completely down in the Spring and Summer, but has been stable since August 2011 now.   Our website is primarily an educational tool and according to Alexa we are ranked 464,891 worldwide and 128,777 most visited website in the U.S.  We have 1,104 other sites linking to us.   Our web site addresses local and global concerns about environment and has over 8,347 pages of information, movie clips, sounds, safe interactive online games with a conservation theme and photos. From 1/1/2011 until 12/31/2011 the site was visited 338,715 times, resulting in 764,943 page views.  In any given week the visitors will be from more than 200 countries outside of the U.S. as you can see from this breakdown:  United States 279,011, Canada 17,495, Poland 7,679, United Kingdom 7,610, Australia 2,848, India 2,123, Germany 1,578, France 984, and the Philippines 858 to name a few.   The information provided has helped wildlife rehabilitators identify animals and obtain proper care instruction, helped officials in smuggling cases to identify rare species of exotic cats being illegally traded and those are just a few of the ways that we know the site has had an impact this year.  For search engine optimization reasons we launched BobcatRehab.com  to make it easier for bobcats in trouble to find us.   We offer about 200 outreach and field trips per year and have committed to offering 12 of them for free each year to lower income schools, but have given 18 such free tours this year and expect that demand will continue to rise with the cost of transportation.  Even when we offer the tours for free, many schools cannot come because they cannot afford the $200.00 fee for their busses.  Our Education Department has been writing grant proposals to raise the money needed for the buses.   Big Cat Rescue has been in the press 326 times, in 42+ states including AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, GA, FL, HI, IA, ID, IO, IN, IL, KY, LA, MA, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, NC, OH, OK, PA, SC, SD, TN, VA, VT, WA, WI & WV and dozens of programs of national or international coverage or in countries other than the U.S.   Award Winning Sanctuary:  PC Magazine Names Big Cat Rescue in Top 12 Favorite Charities 2011.  “Big Cat Rescue, which takes in retired circus lions and tigers, also rescues other big cats from people who tried to keep them as pets, and otherwise offers sanctuary to large cats that are not eligible for release into the wild. It's focused on educating people about the unsuitability of the animals as pets, working toward passing laws against roadside zoos, and shutting down breeding programs like the exotic pet trade. They also take in injured wild cats and rehabilitate them for release. The group has a video cam set up in the sanctuary, and they regularly post videos of the big cats. The cats eat a massive amount every day, naturally, so Big Cat Rescue relies on donations and paid tour groups to support them.”—Arielle Rochette  PC Magazine   • 2011 Winner in Toyota's 100 Cars for Good  Big Cat Rescue was given a beautiful Toyota Tundra for being the top voted charity during their competition week. • 9/2/2011  The Tampa Bay Business Journal awarded Big Cat Rescue in 3 categories:  Best Black Tie Event  Favorite Retreat and Team Building Venue and Second Best Fundraiser • The Tampabay Business Journal selected Big Cat Rescue as a semi-finalist for Non Profit of the Year for 2011.   Legislation/Education:  The steady increase in legislation banning private ownership represents recognition by our society that private ownership leads to massive abuse.  Social values evolve.  It took decades to ban slavery in England and for women to win the right to vote in America.  Those ideas started out as “radical” and were held by a small minority.  Gradually more and more people understood and agreed until they became a part of our value system that we take for granted today.  The same trend is happening with private ownership of exotics.  Gradually more and more people are realizing that this simply leads to widespread abuse of these animals.  The best evidence of this is the accelerating trend in state laws.   Just since 2005 eight more states have passed some level of ban. Sweden, Austria, Costa Rica, India, Finland, Bolivia, Greece, China, the UK and Singapore have all banned or restricted the utilization of big cats in circuses-it's time for the U.S. & South Africa to do the same!   14,539 new subscribers joined as an AdvoCat to speak out for the cats at CatLaws.com in 2011 bringing our total number of AdvoCats to  54,447 who sent 134,431 letters to lawmakers and decision makers to protect big cats.   Animal Abusers Exposed, Shut Down and / or Fined:  Big Cat Rescue enabled several under cover operations to gather evidence of exotic cats being abused, bred without regard for where they may end up, violations of the Animal Welfare Act that pertains to the cruel treatment of big cats and endangering the public.  This information was presented to the authorities along with affidavits and supporting evidence that we hope will bring an end to much of the suffering in the facilities we selected as being the worst abusers.   • Inside Edition exposed Joe Schreibvogel of GW Park and the fact that at least 23 tiger cubs died at his facility. • The BBC's Show called America's Most Dangerous Pets with  Louis Theroux suggested their show should have been named, America's Most Dangerous Pet Owners. • Animal Planet's Fatal Attractions interviewed Carole Baskin in Tigers Unleashed about dangerous exotic animal owners including Savage Kingdom's Robert Baudy and Lost Creek where Haley Hilderbrand was killed by a tiger while posing with the cat for her high school yearbook photo. Many of the worst breeders, dealers and tiger-tamer-wanabees were finally shut down between 2008 and 2010 but it appears that USDA did not pursue any of the exotic animal abuse cases in 2011.     Fundraising and Marketing:  We overhauled (OK, Jamie overhauled) our online stores at http://www.bigcatrescue.biz/ and on eBay and greatly increased our sales by doing so.  We currently operate 300+ social networking sites.   Big Cat Rescue was reported favorably in the news 326 times in 2011 which in a 19% increase over 2010.   Some of the national press included shows on  CNN,  MSNBC, National Geographic, Animal Planet, Discovery and the History Channel in addition to such publications as USA Today, National Geographic and the New York Post and major media coverage in several other countries as well.   Google awarded Big Cat Rescue a grant of $40,000 per month in free AdWords. People who love animals love to share their photos and stories.  In 2008 Big Cat Rescue unleashed a Chat Big Cats community.   Members can post their own blogs, or join in our forums and contests. It is a YouTube/ MySpace styled community made up entirely of animal lovers. By year end there were 2,847 members and 34,359,740,539  videos, songs, photos and blogs posted to the site.  (blows my mind too!)  Get in on the action free at http://www.chatbigcats.com   Best Viral Video Award:  YouTube.  We ended the year with 35,442 subscribers and 37,492,151 views.   By year end we had 323 videos posted on YouTube and other popular sites like google, Blip, MetaCafe, Revver and others.  http://www.youtube.com/bigcatrescue   YouTube Mini Clip Site:  DailyBigCat was launched Nov. 20, 2010 to provide a channel for the mini clips we upload directly from our iPhones.  By year end this site had 2,563 subscribers and 166,724 views.   Our MySpace account now has 7,551 friends. myspace.com/1BigCatRescue We surpassed 54,000 fans on Face Book .  We also enhanced our presence on Care2.org and many other such sites.  We now have 500+ contacts in our LinkedIn presence here:  linkedin.com/in/BigCatRescue Big Cat Rescue now has an Endowment Fund to provide a secure future for the cats. The Fund resides at the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay.  We initiated a program with Capitol One so that you can choose one of our beautiful cats for your credit card image and 1% of all of your purchases will be donated to Big Cat Rescue at no cost to you.   Saving Wild Places for Wild Cats:  Big Cat Rescue funded a $5,000 GPS tracking collar program that will be monitored by researchers with the Snow Leopard Trust. Founded in 1981, the Snow Leopard Trust is the world's leading authority on the study and protection of the endangered snow leopards. This collar will allow researchers to track a wild snow leopard in order to study its habits and territory needs.  A GPS tracking collar has been placed on one of the cubs of Khashaa, a female and mother snow leopard, within the study area. The cub, a male, is already pretty big at one and a half years old. We find this so exciting because it will help us begin to answer some of the unanswered questions about snow leopards, including information about dispersal patterns.   Big Cat Rescue has been working with WildTracks this year to provide images of our tigers' paw prints for entry into their computer program which can determine who a cat is by their tracks when there are enough tracks submitted to use for comparison.  Learn more and see photos of the print collection at http://bigcatrescue.org/2011/today-at-big-cat-rescue-sept-22   Big Cat Rescue offered to sponsor the first ever Florida Panther Festival if they agreed not to use any live cats at their exhibits.  They did not take us up on the offer to sponsor the event, but did assure us that they would not exploit cats this way.  Our camera traps have been set in various locations to monitor wildlife populations and poachers in the area.   Helping Others: After delivering a couple of free webinars for the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS), Patty asked if we would host their first in person 2 day Workshop. Howard Baskin presented on our fundraising streams and the history of Big Cat Rescue, Jeff Kremer presented on donor recognition while giving the group of 20+ attendees a tour, Chris Poole spoke on social marketing and networking, Patty Ragan shared the value of hiring a coach, Kari Bagnall illustrated how to get the most out of a tabling event, Patty Finch taught grant writing, teaching your board how to be helpful and how to avoid “founder's syndrome” and I shared how we use google Apps, how we manage over 100 top notch volunteers, why it is important to have a plan and stick to it.   Big Cat Rescue later hosted HSUS Sanctuary CEO's for their annual retreat and gave them an inside look at how we operate.  In both the GFAS and HSUS workshops we shared our Intranet site along with all of our training documents and all of the assets to create a “sanctuary in a box.”  All of these tools are included on our website behind a $1.00 pay wall so that anyone who wishes to improve their facility has access to everything we do.   Big Cat Rescue also helped the Humane Society Legislative Fund in their work to end puppy mills because the same laws would protect cats and kittens from use in kitten mills as well.   Big Cat Rescue provided our CatLaws.com service to Animal Coalition of Tampa in their efforts to send a powerful message to the Hillsborough County Commissioners on two subjects.  1. Was to fund the voucher program for spaying and neutering dogs and cats for low income owners.  2. Was to ban the cruel practice of chaining dogs.   As with every year we supplied Free Passes, Certificates for Feeding Tours and Keeper Tours, and Two For One Passes to many other animal causes to use in their fundraising efforts.  We donate primarily to those organizations that are providing services to cats of all sizes.  We do donate to some human related fundraisers as well, but animal causes make up 3% of all charities and yet compete for less than 1% of all donated dollars.   Officers and Members of the Board of Directors in 2011 and meetings: CEO and Founder  Carole Baskin (not compensated by BCR) President and Chairman of the Board Jamie Veronica (not compensated by BCR for her role as a Director) Secretary & Treasurer Howard Baskin (not compensated by BCR for his role as a Director) VP Director Lisa Shaw (not compensated by BCR) Director Mary Lou Geis (not compensated by BCR) Pamela Rodriguez (not compensated by BCR), Darren Kipnis (not compensated by BCR), Vincent Pavese (not compensated by BCR), and Keith Lawless (not compensated by BCR).  These members met for quarterly board meetings at the sanctuary.  The board met 5 times in 2011.   Paid Staff:  Operations Manager & Volunteer Coordinator Gale Ingham Staff Manager, Editor & Creative Director Jamie Veronica Gift Shop & Guest Services  Honey Wayton Intern Recruiter & Data Management Chelsea Feeny Education Director Dr. Beth Kamhi and her assistant Willow Hecht Vernon Stairs Cage Builder and Maintenance Scott Haller Cage Building Apprentice and Maintenance Videographer and Social Networking Chris Poole Director of Donor Appreciation  Jeff Kremer Assistant to Operations Manager and Staff Relief Person Jennifer Flatt, CFO Howard Baskin, PR Susan Bass and  LaWanna Mitchell is an independent contractor who works remotely on web issues.

Volunteers and interns provided roughly the equivalent workforce of 24 more full time staff.   Staff and Volunteer Training:  We want to say a special thank you to all of our staff & volunteers who have just completed their 10th year of service to the cats.   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.

53: What are the Spook Lights of Oklahoma? In a region littered with such names as Devil's Hollow, Devil's Promenade and Lost Creek, it is not surprising to find that the far northeast corner of OK has something of a supernatural presence. Here, one can find the unexplained “Spook Lights” dancing along the back roads and in the dark woods of northeastern Oklahoma.Cullan Hudson is the author of the supernatural thriller, The Mound, and Strange State: Mysteries and Legends of Oklahoma, a nonfiction collection of strange-but-true tales from the Sooner State. Many of those meticulously researched stories had never before been reported, while others were rediscovered by the author after having been forgotten for nearly a century. Hudson's short story, "The Iron Door: Curse of the Sierra Jumanos,” was included in the 2005 Red Dirt Anthology. Hudson enjoys traveling to paranormal locations and has visited sites from Central American pyramids to mysterious Moroccan mountains, haunted Roman Ruins and English castles to Loch Ness and Bigfoot's dark realm in the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, Hudson lived in Puerto Rico for several years investigating that island's famous forteana, including legends of the chupacabra, Moca Vampire, and ancient haunted fortresses. ----------------------------Support this podcast at: Patreon.com/AaronSagersHave a creepy story to share?

In Edible-Alpha® podcast #76, Tera talks with Mike Costello and Amy Dawson, owners of Lost Creek Farm in Lost Creek, West Virginia. Although Mike officially holds the titles of chef and farmer while Amy is farm manager and baker, the duo does everything in tandem, from restoring the long-vacated family farmstead to sharing the rich cultural heritage of their Appalachian-inspired farm-to-table cuisine. Both Mike and Amy grew up on farms in West Virginia, but neither started their career in food. Mike initially wanted to be a chef but headed to journalism school instead, which taught him the value of place and storytelling. Amy earned a law degree. Eventually, their interests in food and farming were reignited, and when the opportunity arose in 2013 to purchase the property and reconstruct the farmhouse Amy's great-great grandfather built in the 1880s, they jumped on it. So began a long, challenging but highly rewarding journey. For two years, Mike and Amy rented an apartment nearby while restoring the farmhouse and doing popup dinners and guest chef nights. They marketed their business as Lost Creek Farm from the start, knowing they'd eventually host formal dinners on the farm featuring ingredients grown and foraged onsite. Once their farm-to-table dinners got going, they went all in on elevating the unique ingredients, recipes and culinary traditions of Appalachia. Along with growing heirloom beans, corn, squash and other vegetables from seeds passed down for generations, their efforts include lots of historical research and collecting oral histories. Because to Mike and Amy, the stories behind ingredients and dishes, which illustrate people's connection to place, are just as important as flavor. This is especially true given the widespread misconceptions about what Appalachian cuisine actually entails. As the years have gone by, Mike and Amy have built a solid business, attracting guests from all over the country to their farm-to-table dinners. The late Anthony Bourdain and his crew even spent a day dining, swapping stories and filming with them to be featured in one the final episodes of his TV show. But Lost Creek Farm also attracts a fair number of locals familiar with common Appalachian food narratives of shame and desperation. West Virginia's culinary traditions were largely born of necessity––that is, food people ate not because they wanted to, but because they had to. Rather than defining food by the shame of hard times, Lost Creek Farm offers proud narratives about innovative cooks who created complex, healthy dishes with extremely limited resources. Through culinary storytelling, Mike and Amy strive to change the way West Virginians see food as a source of place-based identity. Although they were geared up for a bustling 2020, COVID-19 forced Lost Creek Farm to cancel all dinners and other events for the year. Mike and Amy have stayed plenty busy, though, developing their education curriculum, planning the buildout of their commercial kitchen and classroom, and producing a long-form-narrative podcast, The Pickle Shelf Radio Hour. Lost Creek Farm's success has proven that people are hungry for authentic, local experiences, flavors and culture. If anything, the pandemic has increased their appetite, which should bode well for this unique multifaceted business.

Jacob Riedemann and Garrett Gibson join the show to discuss getting lost, somewhat ironically, in Lost Creek Wilderness. Thanks to improvisation and the kindness of strangers, we made it out OK. But we still have one heck of a story to tell.

Nestled on the Idaho/Montana border, Lost Lake is a lovely alpine lake accessed by an easy day hike. The trail winds along Lost Creek, passing through emerald green meadows and tall stands of timber. The creek pools and cascades along the trail, while rocky outcrops begin to jut out from the vegetation as you climb above the water. Several lovely campsites dot the eastern and western shores of the lake, and the climb to the ridge above will bring you to the Stateline Divide, if you’re in the mood for some additional adventure.

Loudoun County, Virginia is in close proximity to Washington, D.C. -- the farthest vineyards are just over an hour's drive away. But the area has been known more for  big, beautiful farms that are good for weddings rather than as a premier wine region of Virginia. Today, this is changing and Lost Creek is part of that change. About 7 years ago Aimee and Todd Henkle of Lost Creek decided to buy a beautiful property that made mainly sweet wines and change it into a place with elegant, dry reds and whites. Aimee tells her story and that of a region maturing each year.  Here are the show notes:  Aimee is the Chair of the Loudoun County Wineries Association, so I ask her to tell us about Loudoun County. We review:  Where is Loudoun County? How many wineries there are, the terroir types, and what they specialize in We discuss the controversial question of wineries growing grapes v. buying them from the west coast, a challenge that has plagued the legitimacy of Loudoun for years, and how things are changing Aimee tells us how she got into wine from her background in electrical engineering We learn about how the Vineyard at Lost Creek transitioned from sweet wine to dry wine, and how the quality has been improved greatly through vineyard practices We talk about sustainable and organic viticulture and the challenges of farming in this unique mountain area Aimee tells us about their elegant Chardonnay, Merlot and Cab Franc based blends, and why Tannat is a rising start Aimee tells us what she sees for the future of Loudoun County Lost Creek will be at the Underground Wine Event on 11/9/19!

Experiencing Crater Lake in Oregon: Podcast Show Notes   Welcome to Experiences you should Have. Your how-to guide for amazing experiences. Today we are journeying to a very special place called Crater Lake.     My First Visit to Crater Lake I live in Bend, Oregon, which is in central Oregon and I have made an annual trip to Crater Lake the last 9 years. The first time I went to Crater Lake, I had my friend Ben drive, so I could be the one looking out the window, plus he had seen it before.   It took about 2 hours to get there from Bend (99 miles) and after we checked into the gate (and paid our $10), we drove a little further and then we stopped at a lookout at the top of the hill. I got out of the car and there in front of me was the deepest most amazing blue I have ever seen in my entire life.   The vastness of Crater Lake and the deep blue I saw in front of me took my breath away. The wind started to pick up and then a chipmunk appeared below my feet and started to scurry around looking for food. But that moment, being in front of this deep blue caldera, changed me. It made me appreciate Oregon in a new way.   You may or may not know what a Caldera is, but a caldera is a crater left behind after a volcanic eruption. Water filled this giant caldera after Mt. Mazama erupted in 2290 BC. When I stood at the top of Crater Lake and scanned across and looked at the perimeter and realized the power and intense eruption that must have happened.   What Caused Crater Lake?   A giant, earth-shattering eruption of Mt. Mazama created what know as Crater Lake today. The eruption happened 7,700 years ago and it began from a single vent on the northeast side of Mt. Mazama. When the eruption hit, it was a true eruption that you might think of in your head. Ash and pumice burst into the air, reaching as high as 30 miles above the ground. Mazama ash has been found in Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Wyoming, Utah, and even in multiple Canadian provinces (Wikipedia).   Why Should You Visit Crater Lake?   There’s something about looking at the deep blue water of Crater Lake (which is the deepest lake in the United States and 9th deepest in the world), that makes you realize how powerful nature is, and calming at the same time. Here this beautiful tranquil deep blue lake with a depth of 594 ft came from a mighty eruption more than 7,000 years ago. To stand there at the edge of the Caldera brings a new perspective on life and the power of mother nature.     When is the best time to go to Crater Lake? The lake is open year-round, however not all the entrances are open year-round and you can only drive completely around the lake starting around early July through September and sometimes early October. I would recommend visiting Crater Lake in mid to late July because fire season starts in Oregon in mid to late August and goes through September. You can check the latest road and entrance conditions here.   You will want to plan your trip on a sunny day and on a day where the clouds are higher than the top of Crater Lake. We’ve gone to Crater Lake where clouds have covered the entire Caldera and had to wait more than a day for the clouds to clear (check out the video below). Crater Lake is around 6,000-foot elevation, so you want the clouds to be higher than 6,000 feet, so plan accordingly.   Can you Camp at Crater Lake? Yes and no. There are campgrounds near Crater Lake, but there are no campsites that have a view of Crater Lake. Even if you have an RV, you can not park it overnight around the lake. Mazama and Lost Creek are the two nearby campsites and both open late June or early July and are open through September (sometimes early October).   Mazama campsite can fit RV’s up to 50’, while the Lost Creek campsite if for tents only. You can reserve these Mazama and Lost Creek campsites online.   Can you spend the night on the edge of Crater L...

Hilda är den arbetslösa fastighetsteknikern från Skövde som fick nog av samhället. Hon bestämmer sig för lämna allt och sticka till Kanada och Alaska. Slutmålet är att leva i vildmarken. Inte för att se vad hon klarar av, utan för att inte gå under. På väg dit ska hon undersöka den så kallade off grid-kulturen i Kanada. Hon ska bo i en husvagn vid en sjö och odla grönsaker på en vilt främmande mans ensliga gård: Lost Creek i Lost Forest. Nu har det gått två månader. Det visar sig att det inte riktigt blev som hon hade tänkt sig.
