It begins...

It's finally June 3, 2009. Tomorrow I begin my three day journey to Otjiwarongo, Namibia, to work for the Cheetah Conservation Fund. I'll be working with their interns (mostly undergraduates from the US and Europe) teaching some field techniques and with the CCF Bush Pty Ltd, a business initiative that focuses on habitat restoration (i.e., cutting brush) to improve cheetah habitat and cattle rangeland in addition to generating fuelwood products and income for local communities.

At least that's what I've been told. I'll know for sure in a couple of days...and hopefully all of you will know soon after that. At the moment I'm not too concerned about it. I still have a ton of stuff to move into the basement for the summer, and I have yet to receive the work visa I need to get into Namibia. We'll see how this goes...
