Thank you Jayne, much appreciated.  It is so wonderful and rewarding to see these animals in the wild. I became involved in this game reserve in 1992, at the time there was hunting on the reserve. The leopards were there but almost impossible to see.  As it is they're very secretive cats, in this case even more so as they were being baited and hunted for sport. Absolutely appalling.

After 10 years of negotiating with the previous landowner, a group of friends and I finally purchased the properties in 2003. Our main reason being to take control to stop the hunting.

It took over 10 years to get the Leopards used to our presence. Amongst a number of research projects which we've undertaken on the reserve was also a Leopard Project . Most importantly this project has resulted in a change in national environmental legislation, which now gives Leopards extra protection with a higher conservation status.

Yes, but please don't become careless these days. It isn´t over yet…

Far from it, and yet the tourists coming to the Florida beaches are throwing caution to the wind.
