This brings up an interesting topic. Most of the conservationists and scientists I know either work out in a gym and/or run to maintain their physical fitness. However, there is merit for the community to begin a new hobby, namely golf. It is becoming a fund raising opportunity for projects important to us.

This spring, (click here) a pair of snow leopards will relocate to our valley from Washington state’s Woodland Zoo.
The sisters were born into the Species Survival program there, but a genetic defect left them each blind in one eye and ineligible for the breeding program. The program is in place because the Himalayan natives are endangered.
