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.

Prey and Predator

While we were driving around, the sun slowly started it's decent, signally the time to enjoy a delicious sundowner and snacks. Before we picked our spot for the sundown stop, I decided to make a quick turn around a waterhole close by. When we arrived, an amazing surprise was waiting for us.

The Fight For Food

We had been tracking two leopards, but their elusive nature resulted in no success. I decided to have one last drive past the nearby dam, Rooi Dam. As I came around the last bend, we heard an interesting commotion!
