Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Retreat in the Cederberg will take a stand against global warming on Saturday March 28, in a show of support for the World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) Earth Hour 2009 global initiative.
Responding to the unified call for action on climate change, Bushmans Kloof will ‘power down’ at 20h30 (SA time), together with over 500 cities in 75 countries that have already signed up to take part in the 60 minute global ‘lights out’ campaign.
Guests at Bushmans Kloof will become part of this global effort as they are seated at Embers, an extraordinary open-air dining venue on the reserve, where a candle-lit dinner will be served. At 20h30 all electric lights will be turned off at the lodge and only a blanket of stars in a velvety African night sky will illuminate the surrounding wilderness.
Renowned for its authentic wilderness experience, this luxury ecological oasis is equally recognized as an unequivocal conservation success story. Its entire operation is based on sound environmental conservation practices, and the reserve was awarded the Relais & Châteaux Environment Trophy 2007 in recognition of its exceptional environmental and conservation projects.
Says Bushmans Kloof Sales and Marketing Manager Jill Wagner: ‘Climate change not only poses the gravest threat to the continued survival of every human being on the planet, but also to our planetary wildlife resources. We do believe it is our responsibility to take action, by backing this vital WWF initiative, and are proud to join the platform of support for this global challenge.’
Bushmans Kloof bases its entire business ethos on preserving the magnificent natural environment within which it rests, while providing the top end of the tourism market with an exclusive wilderness experience. Here, the ethos extends to a broad environmental plan, designed to forge an ecological footprint that extends well beyond its borders to benefit many generations to come.
