In Atalaya, Peru a mother Ocelot was killed and
her kitten was left orphaned in the forest. I was asked to join two towns
people in finding her if it wasn't too late. This kitten is less than two
months old. It took us an hour before hearing her calling for her mother and
finding her clinging to a tree.
today was a bitter sweet day as my arms are
covered in tiny scratches, but she will live. She will likely grow up in a domestic setting never
to roam the rainforest as she should. My last full day in the rainforest was
spent searching and hoping, but after feeding the little one at the
"animal shelter" and promising to visit when I return later this
year, I have to continue my trek from the Low Lying amazon up to the top of the
Andes mountains.
I have been in Peru since May 27, 2012 working in
such remote places as a 20 hour boat ride up the Rio Manu into an area of the
wilderness know as the untouchable zone
I was awarded Artist of the month for this
month (june) for the Artist for the Amazon (http://www.amazonaid.org/artists-for-the-amazon/)- Dano Grayson
