"Living with Leopards" Brian's Art for Animals

Thanks for your input. Correct, it is a lot about the resources we all use. But also the growing number of populations (locals who use about 1/8 the resources we in the US would use) that live in and near the parks putting a strain on the wildlife. We do need to look into better resources, AND still support family planning.

I have to say that I'm a big fan of the videos you put up. In this one though, I was a little disappointed to hear you speak in someway like the idea of human over-population was at all the reality. I think really, in regard to conservation, wildlife and resources, we need to understand the biggest consumers are oil, coal etc. Basically, things we need to be looking for alternatives for anyway. Its not about people, its about where corporate greed carelessly goes.

Well..for me Africa. but if you are talking in the US. Be careful as many places that would allow a visitor right up to the animals or in their cages (esp cats etc...) probably don't have the best ethics. You could get shots from photo people like me OR many accredited places have ways to get a good shot. Some zoos also have plexiglass on sies of the exhibits and you can get right up to the animals that way. The best shots are ones that you simply wait out the animal for the right moment :)
