I deeply understand Simon’s mounting frustration and sorrow. One doesn’t need to be in Kenya to witness how swiftly nature is fading before our eyes. It’s a profound tragedy, and yet so few are willing to hear the warning cries. There are days when I, too, feel overwhelmed by the enormity of it all.
Thank you for sharing a glimpse of this chapter. Its vivid portrayal of our troubled world should serve as a reminder to change people's attitudes, but this is not always the case. I am looking forward to the book's release next year. Sending my warmest regards to Simon and know that the incredible work you both are doing is truly inspiring.
I've been following you since about 2013 or 2014. I saw you and your doc about your Peruvian experience at the theater in the National Geographic building in DC, and I appreciated your work and your voice. So, I lurk on your feeds. :) You're a great storyteller, Charlie.
Thank you for your fascinating and rather terrifying “little snippet”
I can’t help thinking that one of your sentences near the end summarises my conclusion:
“There’s no point making a true but depressing film if nobody’s going to watch it. It might have placated my burgeoning passion for vulture conservation, but to what end?”
I do hope more people will be made aware of the situation.
Incidentally, while we have never met, I have spoken to you on the phone. Before retirement, I worked for Robert White Photographic in Poole, Dorset and I had the privilege of supplying you with some product, probably Lee Filters.
I then got your whole family to sign my copy of Halcyon River Diaries.
