All over the world, we are witnessing the disappearance of nature as a result of human population DONATIONS MOBILISED PROJECTS growth, rampant development and destruction of ecosystems. Biodiversity loss is now lining up to be Over R5 billion ($400 million – estimated exchange rate) from Over 500 individual projects, rang- one of the greatest man-made crises ever. By creating and conserving large core conservation areas the donor community has been mobilised through the peace ing from community development and corridors to re-establish links between these areas, and by protecting keystone species to main- parks concept since inception in 1997 to support conser­ to infrastructure development and tain these systems, the global trend of mass species die-off and loss of functional ecosystems can vation, as well as commercial and community development. anti-poaching, have been initiated definitely be stopped. These very same systems are providing food, energy, medicines, clean water and supported. and air to all life on earth. In Africa, with the highest population growth globally, insufficient resources are allocated towards conserving ecosystems. And this is the reason for Peace Parks Foundation’s existence: to OVER R5 BILLION OVER 500 maintain biodiversity by developing a large-scale conservation MORE THAN R30 million annually approach that promotes the co-existence of people and nature. POSTCODE LOTTERIES Thanks to the postcode lotteries, the foundation is making the largest contribution by an African NGO After nearly 20 years of pursuing this vision, this review takes to rhino anti-poaching efforts in South Africa and has, over the past three years, averaged an annual con- tribution of more than R30 million to a multi-pronged approach, supporting projects ranging from law stock of what has been achieved to date and the enforcement and demand reduction to community development. With most efforts supporting , home to over 30% of the world’s rhino, we are pleased to note that the number of rhino challenges lying ahead. killed over the past two years has stabilised.

She bequeathed an amount of R183.6 million to the foundation. We decided to allocate the bulk of her donation to the endow- ment fund and use the proceeds to help cover the operational costs of the head office. Through her generous donation, at least 20% of head office costs will be funded, which in turn will enable the foundation to allocate more resources to projects on the ground. Thank you, Mrs Coetzee, we will honour your legacy. In 2016, the foundation’s head office operational expenditure was capped at 12% of total budget, the lowest ratio since inception, with R221 mil- lion spent on activities on the ground. When looking back nearly 20 years, when the concept of peace parks was only an idea, with six staff members and a total budget of R2.1 million, there has certainly been good progress. The founders of Peace Parks Foundation, Dr Anton Rupert, HRH Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands and Dr Nelson Mandela, would be proud of what has been achieved, but also, no doubt, urge us to do more.

from 18 to 24 April and the second from 12 to 18 September. / This bi-annual event has become so popular that it is now fully subscribed. Every tour combines five days of cycling, some of it at night under the full moon, and one day of canoeing on the Orange River. Cycling in this mountain desert at night, removed from any light other than that of the night sky, is an unforget­ table experience. Hiking in Africa’s largest canyon, the Fish River Canyon, is equally memorable. The canyon features a gigantic ravine, in total about 160 km long, up to 27 km wide and in places almost 550 m deep. To keep the canyon pristine, the transfrontier park management assisted the Namibian Ministry of Environment and Tourism in the annual clean-up operation – no mean feat, given the size of the area.

Desert Kayak Trails The fully guided and catered Desert Kayak Trails welcomed participants early in 2016 and then shut down for an upgrade to the Boplaas base camp, on the one hand, and because of the lack of water as a result of the severe drought in the region, on the other. The trails, which will be operational again in 2017, allow participants to kayak along the magnificent Orange River. Local commu­nities have been employed to do the catering and help with camp attendant duties and river guiding.

Following the donation by SANParks of zebra to Erin Game Ranch in July, a game count was undertaken, which found 200 gemsbok, 310 springbok, 14 eland, 109 red hartebeest, 74 blue wildebeest, 7 giraffe and 19 zebra. To date, alto- gether 431 animals have been translocated to the ranch.

The heritage park aims to maintain the cultural and traditional FOUNDATION PARKS PEACE knowledge of the ‡Khomani San and Mier communities, while improving their opportunities to earn a livelihood. A key objective is to expose Bushman children, youths and adults to the traditional lifestyle of their ancestors. During the year, a traditional veld school and youth camps were held.

The workshop was motivated by the need to build the capacity of resource managers, law enforcement officers and rangers to deal with wildlife-poisoning cases, crime scene investigation, the identification of poisons, the impact of poisoning on the ecology, and finding possible solutions that may be imple- mented in the Greater Mapungubwe, Great Limpopo and KAZA TFCAs.
