Conservation of wild felids in their natural homelands is their only hope of survival! Diminishing "wilds" and human population pressures are leading many species to rapid extinction. What greater contribution can we humans make than advocating for their survival?
"If you talk to animals,
they will talk with you
and you will know each other.
If you do not talk to them,
you will not know them,
and what you do not know
you will fear.
What one fears,
one destroys."
Chief Dan George
'Frodo' A Success For The
Tikki Hywood Trust!
The Tikki Hywood Trust is delighted to report that Frodo is now in the final stage of being released. On the 12 April 2008, Frodo was sedated, for what we hope will be the last time in his life and fitted with a radio collar. Once he was crated, Frodo travelled to the Matendere Ranch which is situated in the SAVÉ Valley in the Southeast Lowveld of Zimbabwe.
For all of us this was a very happy day. As Frodo has not only been incredibly patient and brave but has survived an ordeal second to none on his road to recovery. Over the years I have come to realise that sometimes an animal enters your life, and you are the one who has to learn a tremendous lesson. Frodo, I believe has been one such lesson for me. Since his accident we have seen an awe-inspiring will to over come all the difficult obstacles which he was presented with. Frodo’s recovery is not only about him overcoming a broken limb, but how Frodo taught us to be better at the undertaking of returning animals back to the wild.

Very soon, on the 31st of December 2008, the Breeding Center of Iberian Lynx will be ready and it will be located on Silves, Algarve with a space of 150 hectares.
This project intends to reintroduce the Iberian Lynx that was extinct in Portugal and conserve the local animal
population like the Bonelli Eagles.
The center will allow visits from the public in a very controlled manner, since the intention is for the Lynx to live in the most natural habitat and therefore achieve breeding.
