Just got around to watching Netflix's Living with Leopards and officially adding Mochima to our list of big cat super moms. Surprised to see it sitting at a 7.4 on IMDb. This is easily another top-tier nature documentary. How would you rate it? #LivingWithLeopards #NatureDocumentary 📷 @netflix.com

Sightseeing doesn't justify a carbon footprint. Period. Flying to tick off a country map is purely extractive. If we take to the skies, it must serve a purpose: funding wild spaces, protecting big cat habitats, and supporting frontline communities. #BigCats #Conservation

Yo folks, FYI: I stopped supporting Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in June 2025. These images show one of the main reasons why. When donor-funded strategy shifts from saving a species to lazy office memes and marketing fluff, the mission is lost. Conservation needs results.

A screenshot of an Instagram post from ccfcheetahuk dated February 23. The post features the same "crying over Zoom" meme. The caption reads: "POV: You want to work in cheetah conservation. Spoiler: yes, you’ll track wildlife and watch cheetahs all day... But you’ll also write emails. Lots of them..." A comment from a user expresses fear of Zoom meetings. The original Instagram URL is visible in the top left corner for verification.

It seems more important to the tour guides that tourists get to witness animals killing each other, in this case a famous leopard killing a legendary cheetah, than to protect them. They could have honked or made noise to alert Nora, but they didn’t.
