Global warming is real and a threat to the world's animal population. The year 2004 was the fourth hottest on record, extending a trend since 1990. If we continue to emit greenhouse gases at our current pace, our earth's temperature is projected to skyrocket by as much as 10º F in the next 100 years.

Update from Limbe Wildlife Centre

FROM THE FIELD, feedback on soccer uniforms and a new webcam that Brevard Zoo plans to launch next year. The webcam is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Suntree.

Hi Beth,
We had a great happening beginning of October when we delivered the soccer uniforms for the Catholic School in Batoke. Batoke is a village nearby Limbe, which is well known for hunting and eating of bush meat. Drills are found on Mt. Cameroon near Limbe, but they have almost disappeared because of hunting. As the drill is the animal on the shirts, Glenn has done some special education about drills for the children of the classes 4, 5 and 6. On the day of the delivery Glenn did a presentation about drills for the children and their parents. Later this year we will plan a tournament for 'our' team and neighbouring schools.
