"At a time when living space for wild creatures is being destroyed or degraded
at an alarming pace, the restoration of a large new African landscape for
nature conservation is a cause for celebration.
This is particularly so when the project also aims to create jobs and economic
upliftment for local landowners – without dynamiting or drilling into the earth
to extract minerals and fossil fuels, or ripping the soil apart and dousing it
with chemicals and fertilisers to develop large-scale crops or timber
plantations.
Instead, the emphasis is on “rewilding” a degraded environment to secure more
space for the multitude of non-human life forms squeezed from their habitats in
the Anthropocene Era.
Such a task is easier said than done. Yet the developers of the new Babanango
Game Reserve in northern KwaZulu-Natal seem to have made a good start."
