Every young Black Harrier that leaves the nest faces an uncertain future. For this endangered raptor, the first year of life is the most dangerous – a time when hunger, predators and wildfire can all prove fatal.
Bird lovers and conservation enthusiasts, eager to deepen their birding knowledge and bird with a purpose, converged on our Haarwegskloof Renosterveld Reserve in November, to learn from one of the country’s top conservation biologists.
Haarwegskloof Renosterveld Reserve isn’t only the perfect place to see birds – it’s also the place to learn about them.
In the heart of South Africa’s Overberg, a stretch of Endangered Eastern Rûens Shale Renosterveld is now under conservation protection.
A new wind farm approved near Swellendam is set to be the biggest in South Africa. But in the heart of the Overberg, this also means an added layer of risk for our indigenous species.
