HY is in sy sewentigs, het dertien jaar in Skotland gewoon, en eindelik die Hooglande kom verruil vir die wilde streke van die Oos-Kaap. <\/p>\n

En nou het sy liefde vir natuurbewaring hom \u2019n moordende staptoer laat aanpak \u00e9n laat oorwin \u2013 om die provinsie en ons mense bewus te maak van die belangrikheid van natuurbewaring.<\/p>\n

Di\u00e9 super-sewentiger, Fanus Vivier van Eedenglen-aftreeoord in Jeffreysbaai, was verlede maand een van \u2019n eksklusiewe groep stappers wat die Eden-na-Addo Wandeltog voltooi het. Di\u00e9 onvergelykbare staproete van 400 kilometer strek van Knysna tot by Addo. \u201cRoete\u201d in hierdie geval is die vader van eufemismes, want die strompel oor al wat struikelblok is, tap elke greintjie energie van die fikste sportman.<\/p>\n

Al was die meerderheid van die stappers sestigers, moes die veel ouer Vivier elke meter saam met hulle van bosw\u00eareld tot byna woestyn teen die natuur baklei. Daar is geen beplande roete nie, geen ander stappers om hulle aan te moedig of te waarsku nie. Geen rigtingwysers of ruskampe was in sig nie. Almal moes maar tande kners en oor uitgetrapte dierepaadjies en lang stofpaaie die boendoes inbreek. <\/p>\n

Die opwaartse helling was 14 701 meter en die afwaartse 14 701 meter in twintig dae. Dit beteken \u2018n gemiddeld van 735 meter na bo en 713 afwaartse helling na onder \u2013 elke dag.<\/p>\n

Di\u00e9 rowwe roete beweeg deur areas sonder heinings, waar olifante, renosters en buffels nog vry loop. Dan beweeg jy weer op die spoor van luiperds, bosbokke en rooi hartbeeste, soms deur byna ondeurdingbare bosse en bergw\u00eareld. Al wat jou red, is die nag wanneer jou liggaam moet probeer herstel van die vorige dag se moordende pas. N\u00e1 byna drie weke was die vooruitsig van Addo wat met elke meter nader kom, die een gedagte wat hulle voortgedryf het.<\/p>\n

Die doel van die bewaringstog is om grense te verskuif en bewaringsroetes tussen parke te vestig. Jaarliks word verskillende rigtings gevolg ten einde grondeienaars te ondersteun wat wil inskakel by ge\u00efdentifiseerde roetes.<\/p>\n

Vivier s\u00ea: \u201dDie storie (agter die storie) is eenvoudig: daar is huidiglik geen groter bedreiging vir ons planeet as verlies van biodiversiteit nie.<\/p>\n

\u201cFragmentasie van die landskap weens menslike aktiwiteit is die grootste rede vir agteruitgang van biodiversiteit. Die skep en onderhouding van bewaringsareas is die oplossing vir die probleem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nuwe uitdaging: Kakaoveld<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Vivier vorm deel van \u2019n klein groepie avonturiers wat genooi is om in Mei 2020 deel te wees van \u2019n navorsingsprojek na die Kakaoveld in Namibi\u00eb. <\/p>\n

Di\u00e9 tog sal hulle al langs \u2019n bewegende grens, die Kunene-rivier, verby neem. Di\u00e9 groteske waterslang wat tussen Namibi\u00eb en Angola kronkel, is al vir eeue \u2019n lewensbron vir die semi-nomadiese Himba, een van Afrika se min oorblywende en suksesvolle pastorale groepe.<\/p>\n

Die tog begin by die Epupa-watervalle en sal die kronkelende loop van die Kunene volg. Die area kan slegs te voet bereik word, en bestaan uit reuse berge, klowe, ravyne en waterwe\u00eb. <\/p>\n

Himbas van die omliggende gebergtes sal as gidse dien, en pakesels sal voedsel en kamptoerusting vervoer. Stappers sal hul kos op kampvure moet voorberei en onder die sterre langs die rivier oornag.<\/p>\n

Min mense was al bevoorreg om hier rond te beweeg. Die doel met die tog is weereens om die land bewus te maak van die belangrikheid van natuurbewaring \u2013 in hierdie geval in een van die eensaamste dele op die planeet. <\/p>\n

Die reis strek oor 170 kilometer wat in 12 dae afgel\u00ea moet word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
