Embassy of the United States, Pretoria

The Embassy of the United States in Pretoria is the diplomatic mission of the United States of America in South Africa. History The United States recognized the Union of South Africa on November 5, 1929, with President Herbert Hoover accepting the credentials of Eric Louw as diplomat of the Union of South Africa. On December 21, 1948, the legations of South Africa and the United States were elevated to embassy status. This took effect on March 3, 1949, when H. T. Andrews presented his credentials as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of South Africa to President Harry S. Truman, and on March 23, 1949, when North Winship presented his credentials in a similar capacity for the United States to the Government of the Union of South Africa. The Republic of South Africa was established on May 31, 1961, and that day, U.S. Ambassador Joseph C. Satterthwaite was reaccredited to the new republic. During the subsequent decades and especially from the 1960s through early 1990s, relations between the United States and South Africa were significantly affected by South Africa's policy of apartheid. Following the Sharpeville massacre, President John F. Kennedy's administration was taking a renewed look at the country. See also Embassy of South Africa, Washington, D.C.

Birds of Eden

Birds of Eden mit der Bedeutung „Die Vögel des Paradieses“ ist ein 2005 eröffneter Vogelpark nordöstlich von Plettenberg Bay im Garden Route Distrikt der südafrikanischen Provinz Westkap. Er befindet sich nahe der Garden-Route-Panoramastraße. Die Großstadt Port Elizabeth befindet sich in einer Entfernung von ca. 120 Kilometern in östlicher Richtung. Mit einer Grundfläche von 23.000 Quadratmetern handelt es sich um die weltweit größte Vogelfreiflughalle (Stand 2022). Artenspektrum In Birds of Eden leben rund 3500 Vögel in ca. 220 Arten. Schwerpunktmäßig werden Vögel aus Afrika gehalten. Das Artenspektrum umfasst Vögel verschiedenster Gattungen, Familien und Ordnungen. Einen breiten Raum nehmen die Bewohner des Waldes ein. Da es auf dem Gelände auch Gewässer, darunter einen Teich, einen Bach und einen Wasserfall gibt, ist die Anzahl der Wasservögel stark vertreten. Während der COVID-19-Pandemie wurden zwischen 2020 und 2022 mehr als 1200 Vögel, die bei Privatpersonen in kleinen Vogelkäfigen lebten, im Vogelpark abgegeben, da die Besitzer aufgrund der Pandemie nicht in der Lage waren, die Tiere geregelt zu versorgen. Viele der abgegebenen Käfigvögel hatten niemals zuvor einen Artgenossen oder einen anderen Vogel gesehen und waren nie frei umhergeflogen. Dessen ungeachtet bildeten sie schnell ihre Flügelmuskeln aus und flogen dann frei durch das Gelände. Es war auch erstaunlich, wie schnell sie andere Individuen ihrer eigenen Art erkannten und wie sie instinktiv nach Wasser- und Nahrungsquellen suchten, die ihren natürlichen Lebensbedürfnissen entsprachen. Die nachfolgenden Bilder zeigen eine Auswahl von Vogelarten aus dem Bestand des Vogelparks. Anlagengestaltung und Konstruktion Das ganze Areal ist sehr abwechslungsreich gestaltet. Es gibt Sektionen eines heimischen Waldes, eines tropischen Regenwaldes und einer Flusslandschaft. Durch Wasserleitungen unterhalb der Kuppel ist es möglich, die Vegetation zu beregnen. Für Besucher stehen ein 1,2 Kilometer langer Gehweg, Aussichtsplattformen, eine Hängebrücke und eine Steinterrasse mit Aussicht auf die verschiedenen Wasserflächen zur Verfügung. Normalerweise durchstreifen die Besucher das Gelände unbegleitet, zuweilen werden jedoch auch geführte Touren angeboten. Die Grundfläche des Geländes umfasst 23.000 Quadratmeter, die maximale Höhe beträgt 55 Meter. Die Freiflughalle ist mit einem speziellen gestrickten, korrosionsbeständigen Drahtnetz umhüllt, welches das Wegfliegen der Vögel verhindert und unerwünschte Eindringlinge von außen fernhält. Die an Masten befestigte Netzabdeckung ist außerdem so konstruiert, dass sie für Sonnenstrahlen, Wind und Regen durchlässig ist. Damit werden die örtlichen klimatischen Verhältnisse innerhalb der Freiflughalle erhalten. Weblinks Webpräsenz des Vogelparks (englisch) Birds of Eden Südafrika Einzelnachweise

It covers an area of 9,360 hectares (23,100 acres) from the eastern portion of the Blouberg mountain range to the savanna near the Brak River, Blouberg was established as a protected area in 1990 by Peter G Dix. The reserve is currently managed and administered by the Limpopo Provincial Government Department of Economic Development, Environment & Tourism Topography and habitats Its topography renders a diverse array of habitats which in turn accommodate numerous species of plant and animal life. This reserve is well known for the largest breeding colony of Cape vultures in South Africa in its mountainous sector. On the plain sector game is abundant with special mention of Cape buffalo, sable antelope and leopard. It is predominately bushveld savanna with Baobabs and Tamboti Trees standing prominently on the northern plains. Natural forest occurs on the mountain's southern slopes, which includes a large Outeniqua yellowwood, which was given official protection in 2013. Visitor facilities Current accommodation consists of chalets at Mashatu camp, Tamboti tented bush camp, Modumele Wilderness Camp and Molope Camp.

Boosmansbos Wilderness Area

The Boosmansbos Wilderness Area of 142 km2 (55 sq mi) is situated 20 km (12 mi) north of Heidelberg in the eastern Langeberg mountain chain of the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Boosmansbos, i.e. 'angry man's forest', is named after a resident hermit of the early 19th century who had been known to scare youngsters who visited his apiaries. The elevation reaches 1,637 m (5,371 ft) at Grootberg peak, located at the centre of the wilderness area. The tributaries of the Duiwenhoks River, which drain its southern slopes, tumble along precipitous gorges to 200 m (660 ft) above sea level on the southern perimeter. In the southwest the wilderness area encloses the Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve of 250 ha (620 acres), the most western natural forest in South Africa. The wilderness area conserves mountain fynbos and valley forest. Among the special fynbos plants conserved are Erica and everlasting species as well as the rare Langeberg rambling aloe. Important forest tree species occurring in the valleys are sickle-leaved yellowwood, stinkwood and red alder. The area receives rain in any month of the year, although mid summer and mid winter are the driest, when hot bergwind conditions may occur. 64 km (40 mi) of footpaths allow access to the wilderness, among which a circular 27 km (17 mi) section which can be completed in two days.
