According to BirdsConTour, lodges and guesthouses need to be committed to the conservation of birdlife on their property to ensure long-term sustainability of birdlife in South Africa. Investment in training the staff in bird matters is also vital for bird security in the country.

   

Taking each other’s hand and going forward in a strive of bird conservation. New establishments shall play an increasingly important role in bird conservation by gaining knowledge in conservation issues. That is where BirdsConTour with its organized bird conservation structure plays a key role. The bottom line for any establishment, besides realizing profits, should be conserving birds.

Villa Lutzi, one of Cape Town’s foremost Guest Villas, is maintaining a bird friendly garden and was therefore honored with a two penguin-rated Bird & Birder Friendly Award.
