“iSimangaliso has accelerated the pace of work in the Lake St Lucia Estuary Restoration Programme. As at 30 May 2017, 1.290 million cubic metres had been moved. This translates to almost 95% of the anticipated 1.363 million cubic metres of dredge spoil which will be removed. This R63m project is expected to be concluded in early July, marking an important milestone in the process of ecological restoration for the Lake St Lucia estuarine system.

This is an absolute answer to prayer...

This may seem an ordinary everyday photo to the casual observer. But to us at iSimangaliso, it is a miraculous sight worthy of great celebration!
The photo was taken this morning by Eduard Goosen, Conservation Cluster Manager based at uMkhuze- the water is currently pumping down the uMkhuze River past Mantuma Camp at Denyer's Drift, on its way to iNsumo Pan.
For this most drought-stricken part of our Park, and the thousands of animals protected there, this water is a life saver!
