Beverly Joubert: " It’s a wonderful tradition to give thanks and turn your mind from the pressures of the everyday to those magical moments, days and incidents whose shine gets brighter the more you focus on them.

I’m thankful to be here of course. The rigours of the buffalo attack have faded and my health has returned but that moment of life and death could easily have slipped into death had it not been for @dereckjoubert who would never give up on me.
I’m so thankful to be able to spend my time back in the African bush with even more love for it and determination to do good by it and by the people who live out here together with wildlife and look towards the best way forward for man and beast.
I’m thankful that the #RhinosWithoutBorders project is doing so well and we have welcomed dozens of babies – born into a safer environment and I’m so thankful that so many people are supporting this and keeping them safe.
There are many stresses on our wild places and their inhabitants and it’s easy to get bogged down in the challenges. But there are also so many talented and dedicated people who are working non-stop to ensure that wild places remain wild, that people and predators can co-exist, that people and elephants can live in harmony. And there are more and more people who are seeing the benefits of keeping the wilds wild as photographic tourists flock and jobs are created and the land remains more resilient to drought.
For these things – and so many more, I am so very thankful.
#HappyThanksgiving ".
