The most successful model for the restoration of ecologically disrupted land in South Africa has been the conversion of farm and ranch land to hunting ranches, and it would seem that that model would be the best approach toward the restoration of the renosterveld, which once provided habitat for many of the RSA's rich diversity of game species. � ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [ECOLOG-L] Help Support the Preservation of the Richest Floral Kingdom on Earth!
From: Evan Eifler <eeif...@wisc.edu> Date: Wed, June 19, 2013 9:07 pm To: ECOLOG-L@LISTSERV.UMD.EDU -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Evan Eifler. With my project partners we have developed a conservation and photography project to help increase scientific understanding and local awareness of a critically endangered ecosystem within the richest floral kingdom on Earth in South Africa. It is a very well-rounded project and will benefit a wide range of people and species. We have been struggling with funding so I am reaching out to this community for help. Please Please consider donating or forwarding the project to your personal contacts - which doesn't cost a thing! Check out our project page with lots of information and photos - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1929410349/recognizing-the-renosterveld Also check out our project featured in the online edition of GOOD Magazine - http://www.good.is/posts/what-does-it-take-to-preserve-the-most-biodiverse- floral-kingdom-on-earth The project is great in theory, but it needs additional donations over the next 11 days if it is going to make the impact it is designed to! I appreciate any help you're willing to give, Evan
