In Search of 'Mamiwata'

Mamiwata is an African name for a spirit believed to be embodied by the manatee. This blog chronicles my search for the elusive African manatee, and my exploration to understand its biology, habitat and preservation needs, economic and cultural significance. So little is known about this animal, yet it is intensely hunted almost everywhere it exists and may already be gone from much of its previous range. In 2006 I was inspired to go find and study them, starting in Gabon.

Anyone traveling to Gabon???

Africa friends: If you know anyone traveling from the USA to Gabon anytime soon, please let me know! Air France lost Victor's milk supplies & the situation is desperate... there's only enough milk left in Gabon for the next 10 days. We need to find a way to send milk powder to Gabon ASAP. Please comment to this post or email me at: lkeithdiagne@sea2shore.org.

Thanks!!
