Travel Issue 212 In This Issue ▼ 20 Jul 2018 THE STORY OF A LEOPARD POPULATION THAT BEATS THE ODDS by Simon Espley & The Cape Leopard Trust Friday, 20 July 2018 he Cape leopard is the stuff of legends. This seldom seen, highly elusive apex predator survives in some of the most inhospitable habitat possible – the rugged, low nutritional fynbos biome of the Cape Fold Mountain T ranges. Despite the habitat limitations, this region did historically host many wildlife species such as black rhino, Cape mountain zebra, bontebok, Cape buffalo, hippopotamus, elephant, spotted hyena, brown hyena and wild dog – all of which now only occur in some fenced private and national game reserves in the Cape. The Cape lion, quagga and bluebuck also occurred in the area, but are now extinct. The arrival of permanent European settlers signalled the death knell for these species in the wild, and 365 years later, the pressure has escalated. And yet the Cape leopard is hanging in there. And they do so with other hardy survivors such as African wildcat, chacma baboon, caracal (rooikat), Cape clawless otter, Cape fox, large- spotted genet, striped polecat, honey badger and several antelope species. So, what is the Cape leopard’s secret? How does the Cape’s apex predator escape local extinction? In a nutshell, Cape leopards continue to survive because they are adaptive to change, opportunistic about food sources and because of the vastness of their home ranges.

    Leopard Quota Review: South Africa 1. History and rationale of leopard export quota The leopard export quota was originally introduced at the fourth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CITES (Gaborone, 1983) with Resolution Conf. 4.13, and at CoP7 (Lausanne, 1989) an export quota of 50 leopard hunting trophies and skins for personal use was recommended for South Africa. This was subsequently increased to 75 at CoP8 (Kyoto, 1992). A Population and Habitat Viability Analysis (PHVA) informed the increase in South Africa’s export quota for leopard hunting trophies and skins for personal use at CoP13 (Bangkok, 2004), to 150, as contained in Resolution Conf. 10.14 (Rev. CoP16). Model scenarios tested in the PHVA, ranging from 0 to150 leopard hunted, showed that an increase in the export quota from 75 to 150 did not increase the risk of extinction of the national population within a time period of 100 years, though a reduction in the size of the population from 93% to 64% of the carrying capacity was predicted along with possible local extinctions. 2. Principles In reviewing the leopard export quota for South Africa, the following principles are deemed to be important: 1. Management and conservation of leopard in South Africa is underpinned by the sustainable use paradigm. 2. South Africa has adopted an adaptive management framework for the management and utilization of leopard. 3. Monitoring is a crucial component of an adaptive management framework and the involvement of stakeholders in monitoring the resource base should be encouraged. 4. Management and utilization of leopard in South Africa should be underpinned by robust science.

  • History Lesson
    CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY 1.1 Introduction The present study investigated language policy implementation in selected high schools in the Mthatha District of the Eastern Cape, in the light of the change in medium-of-instruction policy in post-apartheid South Africa. In the introductory chapter, I contextualise the study by outlining the background of the problem, the purpose of the study, and the research aims and objectives. This is followed by the research questions, statement of the problem, rationale of the theoretical framework, research assumptions, definition of terms and concepts, justification of the study, the research approach, the limitations of the study, the organization and overview of the study, and the conclusion. Language is one of the major challenges of curriculum implementation for governments in post- colonial Africa. Language, which is the primary means of group identity formation and a shield to protect this identity (Zotwana in Alexander, 1989:77), is also linked to ideology and power (Makalela, 2005).Language has always been a controversial and explosive subject in post-colonial societies, primarily because of the legacy of colonial governments‟ language planning policies whose aim was to promote and entrench linguistic imperialism through divisive language legislation. Linguistic imperialism is the tendency to attribute favourable characteristics to a particular language whilst devaluing other languages (Phillipson, 1992). Makalela (2005:157) posits that the tendency for post-colonial governments to

  • Discourses Shaping Human Rights Education Research in South Africa: Future Considerations
    DISCOURSES SHAPING HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION RESEARCH IN SOUTH AFRICA: FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS S. Simmonds* Research Unit for Education and Human Rights in Diversity (Edu-HRight) e-mail: [email protected] P. du Preez* Curriculum Studies e-mail: [email protected] *North-West University Potchefstroom, South Africa ABSTRACT Human rights education is critiqued for being traditionalist and conceptually imprisoned. This view stems from the distrust in its ability to transform deeply rooted injustices and inequalities etched within South Africa’s society. There is therefore an outcry to reimagine human rights education. For this article it is important to understand how and why human rights education discourses in South Africa have come to be framed by some scholars in this way and to contemplate where the discourse might be heading in the future. We reviewed doctoral theses in the field of Education which claim to engage with and make contributions to human rights education research. We found that human rights education discourses have been (and are being) shaped in South Africa in terms of three distinct phases: inception, growth, and cynicism. It became evident from the findings that human rights education research is predominantly school-based and fundamentally descriptive and uncritical. To conclude, we reflect on these findings so as to put forward future considerations for human rights education research. Keywords: human rights education research, doctoral theses, post-school education and training INTRODUCTION Globally, the scholarship of human rights and human rights education has increased exponentially since the 1970s (Suarez and Ramirez 2004). Keet (2015, 46–47) explains: As right articulations have come to drench the globe over the past six decades, human rights violations became the prevailing expressions of structurally anchored inequalities in social, economic, cultural, political and environmental spheres.
