Mrs. Inge
Raith, a senior citizen, is the first awardee receiving a two penguin-rated
Bird & Birder Friendly Award in the town of Otjiwarongo, also known as the
Cheetah Capital of the World.
By maintaining a
big garden with a relative variety of bird life in Otjiwarongo, Mrs. Raith
agrees that although it is important for Namibians to look after bigger animals
such as cheetahs, it is of the same importance to take care of smaller animals
as well, such as birds.
After having
received the award, she responded with a satisfying smile on her face: “This
motivates me from now on to take even more care of my feathered friends in my
private nature reserve, my garden.”
