Springbok Casino Unveils “Guardians of Mzansi” Feature to Raise Awareness of South Africa’s Endangered Wildlife

Published: Monday, 29 April 2024

May 1, 2024, Johannesburg, South Africa (Press Release) – This month, Springbok Casino introduces Guardians of Mzansi: The Fight for Our Endangered Treasures, an exclusive feature shining a spotlight on the mesmerizing yet endangered species of South Africa through a series of videos. 

This special feature delves into the lives of ten remarkable endangered species that proudly call South Africa home. Each article and video takes readers on a journey through the challenges and victories of these magnificent creatures, from the iconic African Penguin and the Leopard Tortoise, to the elusive Riverine Rabbit.  It explores not only the challenges they face, such as habitat destruction and poisoning, but also the incredible efforts underway to protect and preserve them. 

The African Penguin, also called the Jackass Penguin for its unique braying, is an iconic and vital species on South Africa’s coast facing serious threats from oil spills, habitat loss, and overfishing. 

Rhinos are under severe threat from poaching, fuelled by the illicit demand for their horns. 

Conservation efforts are vital for The Leopard Tortoise, as this species plays a significant role in their habitats. 

The Riverine Rabbit, one of South Africa's most endangered mammals, faces threats from intensive farming and land development in the Karoo region. 

The Blue Crane, South Africa's iconic national bird, faces threats from habitat loss and accidental poisoning. Conserving this unique bird necessitates collaborative efforts from all segments of society.

The Guardians of Mzansi feature also has videos on the African Wild Dog, the Cape Vulture, the Knysna Seahorse, the Cape Mountain Zebra and the Great White Pelican.
