Know a school that wants to become involved?

[Will Fox]

As education forms one of our founding principles, we've started a schools forum to link schools across the world via the ILP such that they can communicate, swap ideas, and make friends etc, all with a conservation theme. In the future member schools will have access to camera trap pictures and the ability to track leopards via the internet and GPS tracking collars.

I have created an ILP schools network site to enable this (http://ilpschoolsforum.ning.com. The network is private and only open to members at the moment so please let me know if you would like an invitation.

We'd like to find teachers, pupils and schools that are interested in our work and would like to become involved and link up with experts in Africa, but also have some fun and make friends with similarly passionate kids. Of-course our local schools are keen to get in touch with others and in this way broaden their horizons.

Recent guests at paperbark Bush Retreat Ian and Calre have volunteered to administer the site, but anyone else who feels that they can assist Ian and Clare would be very welcome to work with them.
