The geological record of the Cape spans approximately 600 million years and is defined by the opening and closing of ocean basins and the rise and fall of ancient mountain belts. In more recent time, this history has been further shaped by complex shifts in climate and sea level, particularly over the last three million years. In this talk, we will "time-travel" through these changing landscapes to uncover the deep-time context of the bird habitats we see today.

The estuaries of the Western Cape’s West Coast are among South Africa’s most important and irreplaceable wetlands. They are vital ecosystems that support exceptional biodiversity (including waterbirds and migratory waders) and provide vital services, from flood regulation and carbon storage to sustaining fisheries and local livelihoods. Yet, despite their ecological importance, estuaries remain among the country’s most threatened habitats. Join Dr. Ernita Flynn, Project Manager of BLSA’s West Coast Estuaries Conservation Project, and Philipp Grundlingh, West Coast Estuaries Conservation Officer, as they share insights into these remarkable ecosystems and the work being done to conserve them.
