ABOUT DYER ISLAND CONSERVATION TRUST

The founder of the trust is Wilfred Chivell. The remaining trustees are Professor Rob Crawford, Ms Angelika Kamp, Mr Newi Makhado and Professor Les Underhill. The trust has several objectives. The most important is the conservation, rehabilitation and protection of the natural environment, including both flora and fauna, in and around Dyer Island.

The trust is also concerned about the care of wild animals, especially oiled penguins. The trust will promote educational and training programmes relating to environmental awareness, and greening and clean-up projects. It will also support any research which is related to or supports these objectives. The trust can even provide funds, assets and other resources for similar projects in related areas, for example, at other offshore islands of the Western Cape.

The 2000-house development for Dyer Island's penguins is the first of many planned thrusts of the Dyer Island Conservation Trust, to be undertaken in terms of the "Faces of Need" banner.
