Journal
Field notes from each expedition: what happened, who was doing the work, and why it matters.

Before the trip: eight days in Bardia National Park, Nepal's quiet tiger stronghold, looking for the cat in the wild for the first time.

Tracking Snow Leopards (and Other Things)
Before the trip: eighteen days in the central Tien Shan with the Snow Leopard Foundation, looking for the cat on its own ground.
Eye Level
Two weeks on a lion release programme, and what ground-level access to the animals does to a wildlife portfolio.
Under the Same Dart
A second week shifts from fence lines to first aid — treating an injured antelope, then repeating the exact same procedure on a healthy one, for an entirely different reason.
Holding the Line
A first week embedded with anti-poaching operations on a private reserve in the Greater Kruger — snares, cameras, drones, and the constant work of staying ahead of the people after the rhino.
Botswana at Dusk
Light and place, more than any single animal — sunset, dusk, and the last colour in the sky across several stops on the trip.
The Scavenger's Morning
An honest, unglamorous piece on hyena and the ecological role of scavengers.
Giants at the Water's Edge
Hippo and elephant — large mammals and water dependency in the Delta ecosystem.
A Morning With the Pride
Waking, feeding, resting — one pride, one morning, Okavango Delta.
The Leopard in the Tree
Two visits with the same leopard in one marula tree — resting with a kill already made, then feeding as the afternoon wore on.
Painted Wolves
A pack of African wild dogs, Mababe — endangered, cooperative, constantly in motion.
Kasane to the Falls
Fourteen nights across four ecosystems, from the Chobe River to Victoria Falls.
