ABOUT
The Crocodile River Reserve boasts a variety of eco-systems and habitats within which there are many special species, some of them threatened and vulnerable. The Egoli Granite Grassland in particular, endemic to Gauteng, and noted as highly threatened due to massive urbanisation and development in the Province, is well and thriving in the Reserve. The Geological formations are unique and noted internationally. Our rocks are amongst the oldest in the world, stromatolites that hosted the first forms of life on earth.
If you are interested in all the inventions that seem like something from Science Fiction? Well, nature has one up on us. What may seem far fetched to us nature has been doing for millions of years – constantly finding innovative ways to adapt to an ever-changing world, that are not harmful to the planet and therefore not harmful to us.
Can we mimic any of nature’s clever inventions? Join our Walk and Talk on Biomimicry with Jonathan Leeming, a renowned speaker and author on all things environmental, and learn about some of these ingenious adaptations and how we may be able to use them to make our impact on earth positive rather than negative.
