Thank-you so much for all the lovely birthday messages and kind words! And then reading all the comments... it’s a joy to see how much appreciation there is for wildlife programming. Hope to bring you more over the next year 💚🐾

Wil net dankie sê dat julle saam 'Bewonder & Bewaar' het Sondae aande! En ook vir die wonderlike kommentaar na elke episode. Beplanning vir die volgende seisoen is reeds aan die gang 🐾 __ Just want to say thank-you for joining us for 'Bewonder & Bewaar' on Sunday nights! And

The rhino poaching statistics for the first half of 2024 have been released by government this morning, see below for some important take-aways: • Headline of "downward trend" a bit misleading as Jan to June 2023 pretty much matches this year, with 231 rhinos poached last year

Dit is Saterdag wat beteken dit is tyd vir Klank in die Natuur op RSG om 06:45 (100-104 fm of aanlyn). Met Wêreldrenosterdag môre, gesels ek oor die onthoringing van renosters in die Krugerwildtuin, skets ’n prentjie van die huidige sistuasie en neem jou na Viëtnam waar ek om 'n

Popped into one of the shops in Kruger and great to see #WorldRhinoDay being promoted... several products giving back to rhinos. All STROOP DVDs sold in the park have proceeds going to the rangers via SANParks HR's STROOP: journey into the rhino horn war

Doodsdreigemente is 'n realiteit wanneer jy 'n ondersoekende film soos 'STROOP - journey into the rhino horn war' maak. Ek gesels met Lee-ann van Rooi hieroor op 'Waar Daar 'n Wil Is', en nog meer. Skakel môre-aand (Vrydag 18 Oktober) om in op kykNET kanaal 144, DStv.

This is such sad news! One rhino is one too many. But, we have to look at the bigger picture and the complexity of the poaching crisis. Poachers are opportunistic and will still go for dehorned rhinos, even if just for a stump 🧵 dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-1…

It is also that time of the year… history tells us that there is usually an upward spike just before the festive season. However, there is still scope for positivity.

The park has seen a decline in the number of rhinos poached since the dehorning operation started earlier this year.

Vanoggend was 'n kort uittreksel op RSG van 'n uur lange onderhoud, hier is die potgooi van die volledige gesprek vir die wat kans sien 😄 Land en sand: Bonné de Bod omny.fm/shows/op-en-wa… RSG 100-104FM #sabcnews

Die joernalis Pieter Steyn het reggekry om my dele van my grootwordjare waarvan ek eintlik al vergeet het te onthou en te herleef...

Ook om te praat oor die fisiese en psigiese uitdagings rondom die maak van STROOP, asook die gevare waarin ons onsself bevind het en die vrees vir ons lewens... tot vandag waar ons die hoopvolle en inspirende stories van bewaringshelde vertel in 'Bewonder & Bewaar'.

After posting the podcast yesterday, where I talk in-depth on the filming of 'STROOP - journey into the rhino horn war', some have asked where they can watch it... no I'm not sad if you haven't seen the film yet, I'm just grateful that it is still available to watch!

Both the English and Afrikaans versions are on Showmax and DStv Catch Up, please just search for 'Stroop' on whatever system you use to watch.

Very sad… we have to root out corruption across all levels and most importantly, the justice system favours the accused, so our state prosecutors have to work very hard to get convictions. We sat in many courtrooms observing this.

Goeie nuus op hierdie Vrydag! Vir diegene wat dit dalk gemis het, die eerste seisoen van ‘Bewonder & Bewaar’ word weer uitgesaai. Vrydae aande on 21:00 met herhalings deur die week, kanaal 145 DStv.

Op tv vanaand waar ek die nuutste renosterstropingstatistieke met Eugenie Gregan bespreek. Skakel in op eNuus kanaal 144 en 145 op DStv tussen 19:00 en 19:30.

Completely lost in this moment. And something I love to go back to when it pops up in my memory banks, because the filming of 'STROOP - journey into the rhino horn war' brought with it many different emotions –– sadness, disbelief, fear, anger –– to name a few. But then there

It's Throwback Thursday, so I thought I'd grab a memory from the archive, one that will always remain special to me. I was blown away by the interest in ‘STROOP - journey into the rhino horn war' in Europe.

This was one of the many screenings and hundreds of teens lined up at the Cinema Variétés in the historical town of Lier, Belgium, to watch the film. Their engagement afterwards always centered around 'what can I do?' How incredible! This gives me so much hope for the future.
