A safari of discovery: Richness, diversity & the importance of our wildlife heritage

🗓 Date: 27th August 2024
🕕 Time: 18:00
📍 Venue: The Thirsty Giraffe Grillhouse & WineBar
🎤 Presenter: Edward Barber

Join us for an informative evening of discovery with Edward Barber.

Subspecies are crucial for biodiversity, serving as the genetic foundation for future species. They play a vital role in conservation, yet their alarming extinction rate often goes unnoticed by society. The complexity of species classification, including misconceptions from common names, highlights the importance of recognizing the unique differences among subspecies.

Efforts like those of the Subspecies Foundation aim to protect this diversity, particularly in Africa, where many magnificent but lesser-known subspecies contribute significantly to the continent’s rich biodiversity.

This event provides an opportunity to network with the community and learn more about conservation and research projects in the Lowveld and South Africa. Best of all, it’s completely free!

🎉 Congratulations, Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Region, for featuring in the Green Destinations 2023 Top 100 Story List.

Here's a sneak peek into their Good Practice Story 👇🏼

Phiring Village, a small rural hamlet off the beaten track yet close to a popular tourist attraction, boasts several spectacular attractions of scenic and cultural importance of its own. It remained virtually unknown to most. The solution was to encourage the community to form a local tourism association, with the support of Kruger to Canyon’s Biosphere and other conservation-minded role players, to identify and promote the village’s potential as an attractive and sustainable tourism destination which could benefit the community as a whole. As a result, some of the attractions have been upgraded for easier access, local guides have been trained, a community home-stay project has been initiated, and a destination marketing strategy has been developed with the intention of attracting visitors to the village.
