🌍 Happy World Environment Day 🐧
Wagtale spent the morning in Stony Point, Betty’s Bay, showing our recent penguin film we did with , , and .
Although there are positive developments constantly happening, the plight of the African Penguin is dire, and projections for total extinction are terrifyingly soon.
Extremely excited to share a project that's very close to our hearts at Wagtale.
We made this film about the origins of modern humans on the southern cape coast of South Africa.
Made in collaboration with Grootbos Private Nature Reserve and scientists from the African Centre for Coastal Palaeoscience, this film showcases their work in "reconstructing the Quaternary palaeo-landscape and seascape (“palaeoscape”) of the south and southeast coasts. This reconstruction will enable the development of testable hypotheses on the selective regimes that shaped the region’s biota, including modern humans. No region anywhere else in the world offers such an opportunity."
A special thanks to Dr Curtis W. Marean (Paleoanthropologist), Dr Hayley C. Cawthra (FGSSA, PR.SCI.NAT. Chief Scientist), Prof Richard Cowling (Botanist), Dr Jan C. De Vynck (Human Behavioural Ecology), Dr Robert Anderson (Marine Biologist), Dr Charles Helm (Paleontology and Ichnology) and Grootbos conservation manager Sean Privett (Botanist) for sharing this story with us.
We hope you enjoy it and learn something about how absolutely special the southern tip of Africa is.

Meet master tracker /Ui /Kxunta and his student Tsamma Bo
/Ui is a master tracker living in Nyae Nyae. He is one of the best known trackers and hunters in the Nyae Nyae conservancy, and is world renowned for his tracking knowledge.
/Ui is especially concerned about the transfer of tracking skills from the elders to the youth, which has been in steady decline.
“Every boy was supposed to be a hunter, they must learn how to hunt. By learning from their father, their uncles and brothers, they must become hunters! But all I see these days is the youth drinking a lot of alcohol.
“I spent three years teaching my nephew Tsamma how to hunt and track, and now when I join him in the bush, he’s extremely good at tracking and hunting! If he keeps going out everyday, he will become a master at tracking and hunting.”
