History of the Knysna Elephants 1908-1979

Mike Hampton Posted on 17th Jul 2018 by Mike Hampton1st Nov 2020

1908 In 1908, elephants were proclaimed as Royal Game. Thus they were protected from being hunted by all except the British royalty. Fortunately no further Royals passed by (Watson, 2002). However, it is a well-known fact that you cannot protect a species merely by declaring it to be protected.

Rain made the forest wonderfully mysterious and further … Read the full article…
