Conservation – growth for the region
Conservation in South Africa and the continent is not only key for the environment, but is critical to growth and job creation across the continent. I have been a member of the South African National Parks honorary rangers for over 10 years. This group of individuals assists government in conserving and growing our national parks. I am a qualified game ranger and am passionate about our wildlife environment. My children are following my passion with my son completing his masters in wildlife management and my daughter her honours in Zoology.
