Had to share this picture that my friend Dan Streck just took in Kruger National Park of a baby being born in the river and then being propped up by mom. What a joyous moment!

Get educated…and entertained! In the pulse-pounding follow-up to IVORY GHOSTS, WHITE GOLD takes you into the heart of darkest China where an unsuspecting kernel of hope takes hold an prevails against the ivory villains. I hope this story brings the issue of elephant poaching and wildlife trafficking to a broader audience. And I promise, not too depressing!!! You’ll love Lu Lu the elephant! Spread the word!

Happy 2017! Been a while since we’ve posted as I’ve been distracted getting second installment of the ivory thriller out (WHITE GOLD, February7th!).
Starting preparations for next field season and reminding myself that we at Utopia Scientific have lots to celebrate despite current
political upheaval and worrisome reports of increased elephant poaching.


Just reviewing baby pics from our 2016 season. Lots of new family members to follow and we look forward to updating you this coming season on how the new additions are adapting. But in the meantime, we will continue to post thoughts in preparation.
