With their long legs, striking white plumage, and graceful presence, egrets are some of the most recognisable birds wading through the wetlands of the Western Cape.
Every year on 20 May, the world pauses to celebrate the tiny but mighty creatures that play an outsized role in sustaining life on Earth: bees.
Biodiversity is the foundation of all life on Earth. It is fundamental to human well-being, a healthy planet, and economic prosperity for all people.
If you're visiting Intaka Island and you spot one of these colourful little creatures, count yourself lucky! But please remember: do not remove chameleons from their natural environment. Admire them from a respectful distance and help us keep their home safe.
World Frog Day is a day dedicated to raising awareness for frogs and other amphibians. To celebrate this important environmental day, we turn our focus to a particularly special species - the Arum Lily Frog.
