Rangers in the Mara Triangle area of the Masai Mara are rather busy these days – trying to stop illegal poaching, worrying about colleagues shot by poachers and, now, twittering and blogging.
Those of us who have been following them recently got word today, via twitter, that Ranger Leyian, who was shot last week, has been given 6 pints of blood in hospital where he’s currently under observation.
They’ve already got some press for their efforts but certainly deserve more. Follow @maratriangle on twitter or visit their blog to find out what they’re doing to save African wildlife and to learn what you might do to help.
[update: Since blogging this, the Mara Triangle rangers have friended me on flickr and facebook. They’re really trying to get the most out of social media – very cool.]
