SAVE SOUTH AFRICA'S COASTLINE
South Africa's coastline is under threat from dune mining industry and smelting projects. This means that the potential for the country to develop its eco-tourism industry will be seriously jeopardized. 1z0-501From Richards Bay, to Xolobeni along the Wild Coast, Wavecrest, East London, Port Elizabeth (Coega) and Tormin Sands eco-systems under threat include the following:1z0-620
East London
In East London, nature reserves have been declared protected sites in Gonubie, Nahoon Point and Nahoon Estuary. Nahoon Point is a valuable prehistoric site - famous for the 200 000-year-old footprints that were discovered in the 1960s - and the Dassie Trail is a sanctuary for these small mammals and birds. Plans include educational workshops, 225-020eco-trails and displays of fauna and flora. The project would also help eliminate alien vegetation and benefit indigenous plants, trees, grass and flowers. The reserve also includes an area where mangrove trees grow on the edges of the Nahoon dam. The Nahoon Estuary Nature Reserve is home to many dassies. Small buck and porcupine used to live in the reserve but have vanished - poached by hunters. The municipality is planning to return the two reserves to their former state. 250-101
