In March 2021, animal rights groups in South Africa were outraged over the shooting and paralyzing of a young baboon named Maggie. She was part of the CT2 troop, a group of Chacma baboons that inhabit the Cape Peninsula. The incident highlights the ongoing issue of humanwildlife conflict, where the interests of animals and humans collide.
In March of 2023, Jean Tresfon, a renowned marine conservationist photographer captured an extraordinary moment at Struisbaai Main Beach. The event was the successful release of Dané, a female raggedtooth shark by the Two Oceans Aquarium.
