BUSINESS / CORPORATE Presentations, Seminars & Workshops:
| We are just as part of this natural world as any other living creature and our adaptations and behaviour are influenced by the same natural forces as all other living creatures. However, we have created a totally different, and often very artificial environment for human-beings to live in. Consequently, we have alienated ourselves from nature - but this does not change who we really are nor the forces that influence our own behaviour every minute of our existance. ... Let's say it "ASS IT IS" ... the true jungle "tail" ... |

SCHOOLS: Wildlife/Conservation Educational Presentations
| Professional wildlife/conservation education lectures and programmes are presented directly at the school’s premises free of charge or, if requested by the school, at one of the supporting small, private nature reserves and game farms. |  |
| High tech support resources as well as live specimans are used to give a hands-on experience to the audience during the presentations. We also do special presentations that focus on specific themes in the school syllabus (eg. global warming, conservation, species extinction, habitat destruction, pollution, deforestation, and much more). Dr. Madelein Grunlingh alone, has reached and involved more than 50 000 pupils and teachers during the past 18 months. Thank you to all those school principals and staff for their vision and the opportunity to have shared some of our conservation knowledge and expertise with you and your schools.
