World Wildlife Day

Mar 3, 20200 comments

The 3rd March is World Wildlife Day – an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora.

World Wildlife Day was proclaimed by the United Nations on the 20th December 2013. It falls on the 3rd of March, the same day where back in 1973, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) was founded. World Wildlife Day is a day to celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants and the multitude of benefits that their conservation provides to people.

To celebrate this day, Southern Camp Ranger Mike Brown shared a few of his personal wildlife photographs taken on Kapama Private Game Reserve in 2019.

Family Time

We were driving past some open plains when I noticed something small out of the corner of my eye. I stopped to get out my binoculars, and sure enough, there were three little jackal puppies with just their heads peeking out of a very small termite mound.

Battle Scars

This young bull appeared to have been in several fights already as he was covered in lacerations and scars all over his body. This is an easy way to identify him as a male, as females don’t have as many reasons to actively fight one another.
