African Leopards

[Spalea]

Beverly Joubert: " As the world wakes up to the threat of a crisis, we have an opportunity to reflect on our relationship with nature. One thing is abundantly clear: when ecosystems are disrupted and biodiversity is threatened it impacts all of us. The current events unfolding across the globe are a harsh reminder of our delicate connection with the natural world and a wake-up call to respect that interdependence.⁣

"Social distancing" and "self-isolation" may be foreign concepts to many of us learning the challenges of overcoming a global threat but, for leopards, a solitary lifestyle is the perfect fit. These big cats rarely interact with others from their species unless it's absolutely necessary, and prefer to roam the landscape alone. In these trying times, the leopard's solitariness sets the tone for the rest of us. And while many people persist in isolation, it's important to remember that we are united by our power to overcome grave situations and alter our behaviour towards a healthy coexistence with all species that call this planet home.⁣"
