VISIT BY GERMAN ENVIRONMENT MINISTER AND GERMAN AMBASSADOR TO SA

<< BACK

On Thursday the 12th February the German Minister of Enviromental affairs Sigmar Gabriel and the German Ambassador Dieter Haller came to visit Grootbos Private Nature Reserve (www.grootbos.com) in Gansbaai for the day. Part of the program and one of the highlights was a trip to Dyer Island to visit the seals, penguins and the Great White Shark and to experience first hand the conservation work done by the Dyer Island Conservation Trust. On the way to the island a lone baby seal, separated from its mother, was picked up and returned to the island. The Minister released the seal pup and it immediately swam towards the island and safety. The Minister and Ambassador where very impressed with the conservation work done through the Dyer Island Conservation Trust for the marine and coastal life. They were both presented with a certificate, which made them proud owners of 2 artificial penguin nests on Dyer Island.
