Frequently asked questions

FAQs:

• Q: What's up with this funny background of the web site?
  A: The background has been updated to a leopard now, but was originally created when I was still playing around with CSS and learning how to use it for different effects. The backround used to show a number of symbols that was important to New Development at some stage, a computer screen, symbolizing the use of technology, an older version of the New Development logo, a lock and set of lock-picks, indicating our view of science (and biomimetics) as the process of reverse engineering the great designs of the Creator.
• Q: What is the significance of the New Development logo?
  A: The leopard pawprint signifies my work on farmer-predator conflict as well as the role of tracking skills, indigenous wildlife knowledge, and predator behavioural ecology. The newly germinated plant breaking through hard and barren soil and cracking open the soil surface, reminds me that New Development is to be always new and disruptive of old and dead traditions and technologies. It is about new technological and ecological development, but also about new spiritual developments. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we always remain students, never stop learning... in his Kingdom the way to become great is to become like a child, ever curious, humble, and dependent on his Father. Our role as stewards of the earth who will give an account to the Creator, is emphasized by "Wild Stewardship Solutions", with the same idea repeated in a phrase quoted from Gen.2:15.
