Good Stuff!

In other news: The BBC crew has rediscovered a population of tigers in Bhutan, at an elevation of over 4000 meters (13,000 feet)! http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8998000/8998042.stm  This is good news, even if no exact numbers are known; there is evidence that these tigers are breeding. Also good news for tigers– the finding of these tigers is helping with Panthera’s ‘The Tiger Corridor Initiative’.
            And: THE KINGPIN HAS BEEN CAUGHT AGAIN!! He was caught coming from Thailand, through Penang and KL and onto Jakarta, with 95 boa constrictors in his luggage. Who keeps almost a hundred snakes in their bags and think that airport security won’t notice? Kingpin has been arrested – and has done jail time -  in the US before under animal trafficking charges, among other things.
            The Kingpin is the world’s most notorious wildlife dealer. More on this bumface here: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2010/01/asian-wildlife/christy-text
…This is revealing yet another problem within the fight to stop the illegal wildlife trade – corruption! But who’s surprised, really?
But yes, a good day for wildlife overall! J
