News from my friends in Uganda

Since I've been back I've enjoyed getting emails from my friends in Uganda.

This morning I got an email from my friend Julia, who is a primatologist living and working just a few miles up the road from where I was living. Julia took me under her wing while I was there and was an incredible friend/mentor. She has been living in Uganda for over 10 years!

Here is a link to a great article about her: http://www.primatehandshake.org/latest/julia-lloyd-primatologist-and-village-girl/

In the article she does a great job of explaining the tensions between conservation and sheer survival.

I miss her and my other Ugandan friends dearly!
