Zimbabwe - We Are Still Here!
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Apr 05 2008 | By: admin
March 2008 will be burnt into the minds and hearts of many Zimbabwean’s all around the world. Once again Zimbabwe and her people sit in the abeyance whilst history is made. We sit in fear and anticipation, awaiting an outcome, which can be one of two things; to be given the ability of dreaming once again and rebuilding our country or being forced into making plans, jumping hurdles with no end in sight. Should it be the latter, those of us who are committed to this country and her wildlife, will once again face many obstacles in the hope of trying to conserve and preserve the wildlife which remains.
The unfortunate reality of Zimbabwe is that her once proud people have now been forced into seeking help and assistance from further a field. Without the outside world’s interest in Zimbabwe, there would be many more people and wildlife suffering at the merciless hands of the current situation. We at the Tikki Hywood Trust are just one of many organisations who are now not able to source funding locally due to the economic pressures facing local industry. Thanks to the many people such as yourselves, we hope to be able to continue our plight towards Zimbabwe’s endangered wildlife.
Since the Trust’s inception, our priority has, and will always be, the welfare of the animals who we come in contact with. Reality is; record breaking hyperinflation, 80% or more unemployment, non-availability of basic food stuff, in the face of all of this and with the daily struggle to keep afloat, the last thing on most people’s mind is supporting a wildlife NGO’s. However due to the wonder of modern technology we still have a voice which can be heard in the international arena and this is thanks to Wildlife Direct.
With this in mind, we hope to draw you, the reader, closer to the nature of our work. Even more so, we wish to give you an upfront and personal insight into each and every animal who not only make up part of our family but who go onto helping their species to survive!

Humans once belonged to the world, but we've moved away and now we are destroying it. I believe that each of us can do something to make a difference - our every positive thought and action creates a ripple effect.

Hi Lisa, I know you probably can’t write about what’s happening on the ground. Our thoughts are with you as we wait patiently for the outcome of the election and hope that the forces of common sense prevail. I feel like we are standing on the precipice - about to witness a repeat of what Kenya went through. Please let us know if we can do anything at all for you.
