416 | Argo Rust - a great ecologist passes away in Namibia

CONSERVATION & WELFARE

The 19th of March 2016 marked the end of a life dedicated to the conservation of nature as Argo Rust (born 19 September 1939), a Namibian ecologist and farmer, succumbed to a battle with cancer. He was a co-founder of the Namibian Centre for Holistic Resource Management, a holistic approach to manage resources sustainable.

Particularly over the last century the development of arable land for agriculture and unsustainable grazing management replaces grassland into cropping and bush encroachment, impacting biodiversity and the ecosystem services grasslands provide, negatively.

This rapid decline of biodiversity through the loss of grassland ecosystems over the last decades motivated Argo Rust to take immediate action to halt biodiversity loss and improve biodiversity conservation by promoting sustainable livestock grazing and game management practices through the Farm Sonnleiten and later Farm Gauchas project in central and central southern Namibia.

Bird-friendly meat production

BirdsConTour acknowledges the tireless effort and passion with which Mr. Argo Rust (picture) has established  Farm Sonnleiten and Farm Gauchas.

His endeavors aimed to document - through scientific observation - how livestock and game can successfully improve biodiversity and therefore avoiding the extinction of many birds, thus responsibly producing bird-friendly meat.

409 | Bird watchers for clean roads

CONSERVATION & TOURISM

BirdsConTour has created the 'Cleaning the routes traveled' project in 2013 because we know how important clean tourist attractions are to the local tourism industry.

Black garbage bags and a tool for collecting litter are always part of the luggage and wherever time is available and litter is lying around next to the road traveled, a cleaning stop is arranged. Simultaneously this offers a break from the tiring driving and gives everybody the chance to stretch his or her legs while doing something productive.

Guests react very positive to this project and mostly assist in picking up litter.

There is simply no better way of keeping the roads traveled clean and leaves a good impression on the guide, the tour company and finally even on the country and its people.

On the 22nd of November BirdsConTour together with Gisela from Germany cleaned the litter on an often used picnic site alongside the A3 road between Maun and Ghanzi, while being on a 16 day bird watching Namibia/Botswana tour organized by Terra Unica, BirdsConTour and Pack Safari.

408 | Safe roadkills

CONSERVATION

An African wild cat roadkill

The same roadkill now securely placed for scavengers to clean it away.

A roadkill is an animal or animals that have been struck and killed by motor vehicles.

Roadkills are a relatively new source of fatality; and if one were to estimate the entire kilometers of the roads in Namibia, the mortality must mount into the hundreds every 24 hours. Driving without paying attention to animal movement, driving at night and driving at too high speed contribute to the death toll. Unfortunately some drivers intentionally run over insects and reptiles, such as snakes and turtles.

To avoid the growth of a culture of indifference and hopelessness if people learn to ignore lifeless bodies on roads, BirdsConTour starts making a difference by removing at least one dead animal off the road during each tour that BirdsConTour is involved with. Removing animal carcasses, no matter how big or small, from roads BirdsConTour supports public safety because the removal takes away the potential distraction and hazard of the carcass to other motorists. The removal also prevent deaths of further animals that try to feed on the carcass. If possible, BirdsConTour tries to move the carcass to a nearby suitable place where it can be enjoyed in safety by other wildlife, especially by scavengers.

Remember that roadkill removal off the road is a way to support public safety as well as protecting carcass feeding animals. But with the act of removal it is of utmost importance not to pose a threat to people and traffic!

With this birding tour BirdsConTour saved a chameleon that was busy crossing the road.

Before following vehicles could kill it, BirdsConTour took it off the dangerous road and placed it safely on the other side of the road.

410 | Break away to the Kalahari Bush Breaks

CONSERVATION & TOURISM

Built in 1985

Thanks to the efforts and dedication of Kalahari Bush Breaks the nature on the farm Elandsbult is conserved and responsible tourism practices are in place.

One of the last essentially intact eco-systems in Africa is found here in the Kalahari on this 4000 ha farm, located 87 km to the east of Gobabis. There are approximately 264 species of birds to be seen here.

Mrs. Elsabé Barnard gladly received the BirdsConTour award

Kalahari Bush Breaks received a BirdsConTour two penguin-rated Conservation & Tourism Support 2015 Award for their efforts in conservation and tourism.

WELFARE, CONSERVATION & TOURISM

Mahangu Safari Lodge is best known as beautifully situated next to the Mahango National Park and opposite of the West Caprivi NationL Park in Namibia.

 For being involved in social matters, such as supplying the surrounding community with water, for actively supporting an anti poaching unit in the surrounding parks and thereby offering sustainable tourism, the Mahangu Safari Lodge received a three penguin-rated Welfare, Conservation & Tourism Support 2015 Award from BirdsConTour.

405 | Special Birds Overload at Erongo Wilderness Lodge

WELFARE, CONSERVATION & TOURISM

Erongo Wilderness Lodge, situated in the 200 000 hectare Erongo Mountain Nature Conservancy, is taking serious action to save animals in this natural reserve within a vast volcanic crater complex. Erongo Wilderness Lodge also supports local people and implements sustainable tourism measures.

BirdsConTour took the initiative to award the lodge with a three penguin-rated Welfare, Conservation & Tourism Support 2015 Award for its commitment in welfare, conservation and sustainable tourism practices.

The Erongo Wilderness Lodge and its surrounding is renowned as a birding "hotspot"

Entrance to the Erongo Mountain Nature Conservancy. This pristine area with its wealth of natural and cultural history can be enjoyed from the Erongo Wilderness Lodge.
