Communication with  Animals & Nature is important

Thank you for this poignant post.

Sometimes a photograph arrives at exactly the right moment.

Thank you to my good friend Dave Hurwitz of Simon’s Town Boat Company for this beautiful photograph of a Cape Point baboon. Dave’s love for False Bay, its whales, its ocean and the natural world has contributed enormously to the richness of Simon’s Town.

At this particular moment, this image feels especially poignant.

Perhaps it is time to stop and rethink the way we treat wildlife.

For too long, when coexistence becomes difficult, the animal has been expected to adapt, move or disappear. We need a more courageous and imaginative relationship with the wild world, one in which we are prepared to change too.

We need to stand up and say: we want wildlife here.

We want birdsong in the mornings, crickets on summer evenings, toads in our waterways, reptiles in our mountains, whales in our bay and primates living freely in the landscapes to which they belong.

We fiercely defend our own homes, but the mountain is a home too. So are our wetlands, trees, rocky outcrops and coastline. The creatures living there are our neighbours, and their homes deserve defending too.

Wildlife is not disposable. It is part of our living wealth, something infinitely precious and impossible to buy back once it is gone.

Perhaps this baboon sitting above a stop sign is asking us to do exactly that:

Stop. Think differently. And have the courage to stand up for what remains.

Healing Across Species - Japan 2026
I’ve been invited to present Innate Healing Across Species at the Global Summit on Traditional and Alternative Medicine in Tokyo, August 2026.
Applied Zoopharmacognosy shows how animals instinctively self-medicate with natural remedies, restoring agency and dignity while offering profound lessons for human health.
This journey is about more than one presentation—it’s about bringing healing across species to the global stage.
Support the campaign here: www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign/healing-across-species-a-journey-to-tokyo

Together, we can amplify this vision of compassionate, integrative medicine.

In October I will be facilitating a special HEART retreat at this unique piece of wilderness. There are three spots waiting to be filled by humans who want to cocreate a new way of being with Nature. See link in bio for details.

A meerkat family group is known as a gang, mob or clan, and once you see them in action, it makes perfect sense.

As they forage for food, there’s always one or two standing guard, acting as sentinels and keeping watch for predators.

Spot something suspicious? The alarm is sounded and the gang scatters for cover or disappears underground.

Reposted from @whiteliontrust On this World Environment Day, we are called to remember something simple yet often overlooked: Mother Nature does not need saving, She is constantly rebalancing Herself.

Our rivers were never meant to carry chemicals; our soil was never meant to be stripped of life; our air was never meant to be compromised. We are suffering not only just environmental degradation, but a disruption of a vibrant, interconnected system of Divine Intelligence.

Protecting our waters means safeguarding the lifeblood of all species; protecting our land ensures health and healing of all our relations; that reducing chemical impact on our airways sustains life itself.

This is not just a passing trend, it is our united future, rebalancing now.

At the Global White Lion Protection Trust, we stand for the restoration of balance between humanity and Nature, to achieve Harmonious Coexistence. The White Lions are not only a keystone species; they are powerful reminders of an ancient ecological harmony still available to us when we choose alignment (what we call “A-Lion-Ment”).

In our LionHearted Leadership Online training, we move beyond intention into action: participating in the regeneration of our Earth.

Good News - The Heart Pride intake is still open until Monday 9 June and through your membership you are able to receive a significant discount for the LionHearted Leadership Online Training. Explore a way to stay connected to the White Lions and the new Leadership model that our world requires. You can explore your options here - heartpride.africa/ ... See MoreSee Less

The Global White Lion Protection Trust is cocreating a new paradigm for conservation in South Africa. A model where Nature is listened to, understood and treated with love and respect. Where the more-than-human beings are included in the decision making process.

Join the HEART Pride to be part of this new way of being.
