Rather more they are seen as a accommodating body servicing the
outside communities. Remember the "Connecting with society 2022
by G. Phillips, current CEO, KNP. Responsible tourism.
In fact those that attended the meet, me included, have great
awareness of a society neglected by .gov in that precise area.
My real concern is why should Sanparks bear the brunt of impact
studies beyond it's borders?? I refer to the hub and all tar roads leading
there!!
Blake Schraader clearly informed me that KNP finances/budgets cover only
projects within it's boundaries.
Indeed that was taken into account. KNP have their loss and gainsokie wrote:will impact on the number of entries and exits through other existing gates , especially Punda and Pafuri gates .
strategy in place. In fact I believe the tar road leading up to Giyani
has been resurfaced and a far better option so as to enter at Punda.
Indeed Okie, however the "unspoilt by human activity" bit I am not so sure about!!!okie wrote:The new gate gives access to one of the last and most pristine areas of the park , and which for almost 100 years have been totally unspoilt by human activity . It should not be disturbed .
Basically the road already existing as a service road for the ranger.
Not really Okie, access gates leading toward border posts more convenientokie wrote: The new gate will specifically give better access for a throughway to Mocambique
through Phala and Punda.
In this regard indeed Okie a very good point!!!!okie wrote: and specifically allow for such traffic to be a further conduit for poaching , and more specifically smuggling and poaching of elephant , especially of the very large populations of these animals within that region .
All in all dear friends, .gov are looking at their sub-ordinates
to come forth with suggestions in as much saying it will secure
employment for the curator/employee in good faith,...
A subtle threat!!!
Sorry for being a stick in the mud Okie!!!
Nema sorely lacking in it's integrity!!
