Mapungubwe hosts fun walk

Friday the world celebrated World Environment Day, with this year’s theme being the fight against the illegal trade in wildlife and undermines economies, communities and security.
Divhani Maremba, Northern Region Communications Manager of SANParks in a press release informed that Mapungubwe National Park and World Heritage Site is planning a 5 km fun walk to celebrate Environment Day on 16 June, coinciding with Youth Day.
The walk will take place outside the park and is open to everybody. It will end with a presentation to school children about the different environmental programmes that they can follow at SANParks.
This year’s slogan “Go wild with life” encourages people to spread the word about wildlife crime and to challenge all those around to do what they can to prevent it.
For more information on participating in the walk, phone 015 534 7923.
