THE INTERNATIONAL OTTER SURVIVAL FUND'S WISH LIST

• Vari Kennel for IOSF Otter hospital.

• Blankets for IOSF Otter hospital

• Digital Camera for our friends in Kenya  Mark Origa is chairman of the Friends of Kisumu Science Teachers Otter Conservation Group in Kenya.  The group works with local schoolchildren and they are very concerned about the spotted necked otter in Lake Victoria.  He needs a digital camera to record the conservation activities of the children. A BIG "THANK YOU" TO OUR SUPPORTER FROM SHETLAND FOR PROVIDING A CAMERA FOR KENYA

"Dear Grace,

On behalf of the KISTOC group I am very thankful for the camera, it will help us in evaluation work and it will also help us in sharing work with other people and conservationists like you.  Thanks for being there for us it will help us a lot in our work.

Please kindly pass our gratitude and gratefulness to any other friend or friends that may have made this one possible. We hope and promise to work together for the good of the Lake Victoria Otters and its wetlands.

Today, as I write to you this E-mail, the mangrove plants we planted to improve the breeding site of otters is doing as we hoped and evidence is in the increased numbers of otters that can be seen of late. Though the improvement in the numbers of otters has been very slow, there is definite improvement in their numbers.
