MANDELA DAY 2020

Today we celebrate our youth and the power they ha Today we celebrate our youth and the power they have to change the world. Three of our conservation leaders have been awarded micro-grants and are currently implementing projects. These projects are a community vegetable garden and two school based projects - one is creating an indigenous garden and the other is focusing on reducing plastic waste at their school. All of these projects were born out of a desire these learners had to have a positive impact on their communities and all of them are focusing on engaging their peers and communities to help make these projects a success. What are some amazing youth lead projects that you can tell us about? #youthday #youthdaysouthafrica #futureleaders #conservationleaders #natureconnect #changinglives #sustainableschools
Throwback Thursday! We are still reminiscing abo Throwback Thursday! We are still reminiscing about our beach clean–up last weekend. ☀️ We had learners join us from schools across Cape Town - from John Graham, Silukhanyo and West End Primary to Rondebosch Boys and Herschel Girls High. We also had learners from the 9miles Project, Project 90 by 2030, the Village Heights Eco-Buddies and our very own CTEET Conservation Leaders there. This day would not have been possible without the support of our partners - @thebeachco_op briefed the older learners on the dirty dozen and taught them how to track the debris they picked up, whilst @captain_fanplastic made sure our younger groups were entertained as they enjoyed a story about waste and became pirates hunting for plastic treasure along the coastline. Our groups managed to collect an incredible 215 kgs of trash off Sunrise & Muizenberg beach! A massive shout out must be given to @picknpay and @krispykreme_za .You both made sure everyone was well-fed, hydrated and got to enjoy some incredibly tasty treats after a morning of scouring the coastline for plastic. Thank you to @plastics.s.a who, as always, assisted us with gloves and bags for the clean-up. We could not have had a more special day, so once again thank you to everyone involved – we cannot wait to do it again! #Beachcleanup #picknpay #Krispykreme #plasticssa #Environment #Ecoliving #cleanbeaches #Muizenberg #Capetown #sustainableschools

Our Conservation Leadership Project has been runni Our Conservation Leadership Project has been running since 2013, which is when we started working with our first group of passionate Grade 6 learners who were eager to learn more about and protect our natural environment. We currently have three active groups ranging from Grade 8 to Grade 12 learners. We work with these learners on a monthly basis and engage them in environmental activities and action days, broadening their views and understanding of our natural environment. It is such a privilege to travel this journey with these learners and see them grow into conservation champions. #conservationchamptions #conservationleaders #changinglives #connectingtonature #sustainableschools #changemakers

Today is International Day for Biological Diversit Today is International Day for Biological Diversity. Let's celebrate the great work being done by CTEET's Nature Care Fund staff. We received this video from Muizenberg East Site Manager, Kim Gordon who says they had a very challenging but rewarding catch and release of a Grysbok on 14 May, "She was found in Capricorn Business Park on a building site that is being developed. After many attempts we finally caught her and we released her into one of the private nature reserves in the Muizenberg cluster - she's not far from home..."
Today is Endangered Species Day Owing to habitat Today is Endangered Species Day Owing to habitat loss, urbanisation and agriculture, many species are under threat and severely fragmented. Endangered Species Day provides an opportunity to learn about the plants and animals that are under threat and to highlight the great local conservation efforts being made. It’s a day to recognise and support initiatives by organisations like CTEET to protect our endangered species and their habitats. Your contribution can make a big difference to saving our unique flora and fauna.
