   A touching, but also uplifting encapsulation of another year with the hippos and all the other animals. With animals, there are always moments of great sorrow, but also of great joy, and for nobody more so than those battling on behalf of the wild creatures threatened, these days, on several fronts. Once again, I am inspired by Karen’s indomitable spirit, and indeed Jean-Roger’s, in the face of the many set-backs over the years, and also in awe of the many triumphs, which I hope outweigh the tough times. May 2024 treat you both kindly. It begins with an exciting event, the publication of Karen’s new book, ‘Hippos, A Mongoose and Me’. Having been lucky enough to have read it in its early days, I can say that it is an absolute must-read, not just for people interested in hippos, but for what it reveals about an extraordinary person.
