South African Wetland Society

Excellence, Professionalism and Ethics in the Wetland Community of Practice of South Africa.

Shaddai Daniel-Harris

Chairperson and ManCo
Western Cape

Welcome

On behalf of the Board of Trustees I would like to welcome you to the South African Wetland Society.

Our Objectives are detailed, diverse and challenging and should give you an indication of what the society aims to achieve. The society is governed by its Constitution and Codes of Practice which can be found in our Management section.

It is important to remember that in order for this society to be a success it will require the effort of people on a voluntary basis. The Board of Trustees would therefore like to ask the South African wetland community to make every effort to assist where they can in this venture. To this end please use the Get In Touch page to make your contributions to the society.

We look forward to your involvement, so sign up and Join Today and play an active role in the society.

Shaddai Daniel-Harris

Chairperson: Board of Trustees

Our Vibe, Our Tribe

We have stood on the shoulders of giants. We have spoken about compliance. Of the carrot, and the stick. Take your pick (or auger).

We’ve spoken of rehabilitation, restoration. We are a nation of wetland warriors, wetland managers, wetland lovers.

We are first generation, second generation, third generation and fourth. A nation of wetland warriors.

So, it’s time to find your voice. Make the right choice. When asked to decide, step aside. Give the wetland more room, more space. To filter, store, ameliorate, regenerate, attenuate.

Stick your finger in the dyke, pick up the mike and say “Healthy wetlands make healthy people, Wise people make healthy wetlands”.

Written by Kate Snaddon at the end of the National Wetlands Indaba 2022.
