The campaign is run by the New7Wonders Foundation in Zurich, Switzerland, an organization which works to foster and facilitate global dialogue through participatory democratic campaigns, and, through these campaigns, promotes conservation efforts worldwide for man-made and natural monuments.

The Official New 7 Wonders of Nature contest aims to raise awareness of the incredible variety and beauty of nature around us. The Official New 7 Wonders of Nature will be de-

termined entirely by votes from the public and the final 7 announced on November 11, 2011.

The campaign is well on track to receive more than one billion votes.

Candidates must be clearly defined natural sites that have neither been created nor significantly altered by humans. The awareness and tourism income generated through the New7Wonders campaign means that these natural treasures can be better preserved for future generations. Studies have shown that sites participating in a New7Wonders cam-

paign have to date benefited from a total boost of significantly more than US$ 5 billion in increased revenue and brand value.

Table Mountain forms part of the Cape Floristic Region, which was declared a World Heritage Site in June 2004. The Cape Floristic Region is the smallest and richest of the six floral kingdoms on earth, boasting an amazing 8200 rare and endangered plant species, some of which occur nowhere else on earth.

Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, Table Mountain National Park and Cape Town Tourism have formed an official supporting committee to champion the mountain’s cause.

“We are calling on all South Africans and tourists who love Table Mountain to vote. Our competitors include the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the Grand Canyon in the USA, the Amazon in South America and Yushan in

Chinese Taipei, so we have a lot of work to do to round up enough votes to ensure we make it to a top 7 spot,” says Sabine Lehmann, CEO of Table Mountain Cableway.

WHAT WINE ROUTE? Not sure where to go for a wine route adventure? It all depends on how much time you have and how much of day - or week - you’d like to make of it. For those with very little time, you’ll be happy to know that Cape Town’s CBD presents a host of wine bars that will guide you through a virtual wine tasting of practically any estate you choose. But for those who do have some time...

Constantia Valley

Stellenbosch Wine Route

Franschhoek Wine Route

Constantia Valley is the wine route at the heart of the Mother City (or at least a little to the left of it).

This is the oldest wine-growing area in Southern Africa and stretches from Wynberg hill in the north, to the Silvermine mountains (the Tokai area) in the south. The five wine cellars on the route boast a winemaking history dating back to 1685 .

Constantia Valley Association: 021 762 8769 For more information:www.constantiavalley.com

The Stellenbosch Wine Route was the first in South Africa and all the estates along the route are within a 12km radius of the town. It is arguably the country´s most famous, and includes 148 cellars - most of which are open to the public. From Cape Town take the N1 in a northerly direction and turn off at the Exit 39 onto the R304 and follow through into Stellenbosch.

Call Stellenbosch Tourism: 021 883 3584 For more information: www.stellenboschtourism.co.za or Stellenbosch Wine Route: 021 886 4310 For more information: www.wineroute.co.za

Franschhoek was founded over 300 years ago when the French Huguenots settled in the Berg River Valley. The wine route here is comparatively small with only 29 cellars, but what it lacks in wine route variety, it makes up for in quality cuisine and breathtaking scenery. A perfect mini-break destination. Franschhoek is 85km outside of Cape Town.

TOURISM NEWS La Motte appoints new restaurant chef

culinary destination. “At our new restaurant, which we are launching in September 2010, our cuisine will be fresh and exciting, but with the dishes that immediately remind one that they are in the Cape Winelands”, says Hein Koegelenberg, La Motte’s CEO. The new restaurant is launching, with the museum, towards the end of 2010 at La Motte.

The tasting room which was completely rebuilt and opened to the public in November 2009 is also part of the new complex.

For more information please visit www.lamotte.com About La Motte:

May 2010: La Motte is proud to announce the signing of Chris Erasmus in the position of executive chef in the soon to be launched estate restaurant. Chris joins La Motte from his position as executive chef for Ginja restaurant, and is brimming with new ideas and passion which he will use to ensure the La Motte restaurant will live up to the brand message of a ‘culture of excellence’.

Chris has a fascinating and varied background, starting with cooking at home for his family when growing up in the Karoo. Chris was one of four children being raised by a single Mom so everyone pitched in to prepare meals and it was here that Chris’s love for food and organic produce began. Chris’s Mom taught him how to make everything himself – from preserving jams, to butchering meat, to making jellies, biltong and tripe, but the most important lesson that stands out to him still to this day is how to make a little go a long way.

After leaving home Chris ventured into the fields of chemical engineering following a bursary grant through Iscor in the UK, when he eventually realized that this wasn’t the field for him he shifted to dentistry- although still maintaining his love for cooking and all things culinary. Chris and his then girlfriend, now wife, worked part-time in bars and restaurants throughout his studying and work-

34 / Hello Cape Town

ing until they both decided that Chris should pursue his dream and study to become a chef.

After graduation from the Elsa van der Nest academy, Chris worked at the Cape Grace hotel under Chef Craig Cormac, before requesting to be placed at the busy Five Flies restaurant for his in-service training. From here Chris chose to leave SA for the UK and it was then that he met his mentor, Shane Osborn.

Shane taught Chris urgency, precision and skill, and also allowed him room to explore his interest in chemistry and the analysis of all cooking techniques and processes used in the fast-paced kitchen. Eventually realizing that it was time to return home, Chris came back to SA to put his knowledge and experience to good use.

His global culinary experiences have taught Chris discipline, respect and passion for many different styles of cuisine, but it is being a part of a new food awakening in Africa that truly excites him. He is determined to promote the local food community to diners and industry alike, and is confident that our true haute cuisine has only just begun.

It is this passion for home-cooked, Afrikaans farm style food that Chris has taken around the world, and which attracted La Motte to him in the first place. On the lookout for a fresh taste, Chris’s Karoo-gourmet style blends seamlessly with the vision of the new

Situated in the beautiful Franschhoek Valley in South Africa’s Cape winelands, La Motte is home to some of South Africa’s finest wines, recognized internationally for their exceptional quality. In harmony with the production of wines, La Motte has also ventured into flower cultivation and the production of ethereal oils.

La Motte is famous for its monthly classical concerts which feature international and local artists. The wine estate’s tasting room is a well-known destination for visitors to the valley and offers a variety of wines to taste as well as guidance on food pairings.

La Motte is owned by Hanneli RupertKoegelenberg and managed by her husband Hein Koegelenberg. Hanneli and Hein have assembled a dedicated team who oversee the different activities on the Franschhoek estate as well as La Motte’s Nabot in the Walker Bay coastal region where grapes are grown organically.

True to its philosophy of a culture of excellence, La Motte maintains a programme of consistent quality improvement, reaching beyond wine production. The estate has a strong commitment to historic and cultural preservation, as well as the active socio-economic upliftment of its workers and their families.

With its picturesque setting, historic buildings and rural atmosphere, La Motte is an enchanting destination for visitors to the winelands of the Cape.

WILDLIFE ALL WESTCOAST OSTRICH SHOW RANCH History reveals that ostrich chicks were traded by the original Khoi inhabitants with the Dutch Settlers in 1652 and exported from Cape Town to Batavia (now Indonesia) in 1656. There were also exports to India and the Emperor of Japan in 1658. The first documented ostrich farm was established in the centre of Cape Town in 1679. The Westcoast Ostrich Ranch has pioneered the revival of ostrich farming in the shadow of Table Mountain(Hoerikwagga).

Over the years, Aquila Private Game Reserve has gone to massive efforts and expense to source and re-introduce wildlife into the Cape region so that local residents and visitors alike can benefit from the same and therefore we are proud to offer an authentic African Big 5 safari for the first time in 250 years.We are especially proud of our efforts of reintroducing our lions and lion cubs that we saved from a doomed ‘canned lion’ fate. The support from industry, local and international media has been outstanding and reiterates our ongoing efforts and stance against animal cruelty – such as the despicable canned lion hunting industry.

MEERKAT MAGIC SAFARI South Africa’s most endearing wildlife celebrities, meerkats have taken the natureloving world by storm, so go on a safari that’ll have you smiling for weeks! Located near Oudtshoorn, in the Klein Karoo, is a universally unique conservation project, and its here that you can get up close, within a few metres of their burrow, to a group of extraordinary meerkats or suricates - the only wild community known to exist outside the Kalahari. Tours are done strictly on an ‘observe and conserve’ basis, with very limited numbers permitted to visit at a time, so the troupe, who migrate in search of food constantly, are never interfered with or disturbed.

It’s best to seek out these highly social, fiercely territorial and endlessly entertaining creatures at sunrise or dusk; and aside from getting all the meerkat low-down, you’ll learn about the other Shy 5 members – porcupine, antbear (aardvark), bat-eared fox, and aardwolf.

The Overberg, meaning area "over the mountain", consists of large agricultural fields, which form the modern day habitat of the blue crane. While about 25 000 of the elegant birds remain common in big areas of their historic range, there has been a sudden population decline in the last 25 years and the crane is now classified as vulnerable.

1. Blue Route: This route is on a dirt road with fairly rough patches and corrugations. However, it is very scenic and parts are shady as gum trees line the road.

YEAR ROUND parts are shady as gum trees line the road.

One will pass through several different types of farming operations.

2. Purple Route: The majority of this route is on a tar road with a dirt road section that is in a fair condition if it has not rained heavily.

This route takes one through rolling fields of wheat and past farm dams which often attract Blue Cranes and other birdlife.

3. Green Route: This is an interesting route with lots of wildlife. However, the dirt road section can be rough and difficult to travel on in wet conditions.

The story of the penguin colony in Cape Town started in 1983 when a pair was spotted on Foxy Beach at Boulders. Since then the colony has grown rapidly and now totals about 3 000 Boulders Beach penguins. The birds came to False Bay from Dyer Island after the reduction in commercial pelagic trawling, which has increased the supply of pilchards and anchovy - part of the penguins’ diet.Boulders Beach is located in Simon’s Town, just over the hilly peninsula from Cape Town. It’s easily accessible by bus, car, taxi or train. www.aboutcapetown.com/penguins.htm

Nearly 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions result from transport. It would be unrealistic to expect people not to travel, but there are real ways that you can travel more efficiently! With petrol and air travel costs skyrocketing (pardon the pun), now is a good time to change the way you travel, saving the planet and your pocket at the same time!

DRIVING

• Drive less.

• Choose a fuel efficient car.

• Check your tire pressure - incorrect tire pressure results in higher petrol/diesel usage.

• Drive smoothly - your car burns the most fuel when you are accelerating. Avoid sharp braking and accelerating to save petrol.

• Car pool the kids - why have four parents stuck in traffic. Do lifts for other parents and vice versa.

FLYING Greenhouse gases which are released at high altitudes have an even greater impact on climate change.

• Avoid unnecessary flying - urge your business to invest in tele- and video-conferencing facilities.

• Fly direct - most of the fuel used when flying is used during the take off. Fly direct to avoid extra "take-offs".

The Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative Conumer’s Seafood Guide

.... by travelling smart

If one million people replaced one incandescent bulb with a Compact Fluorescent light bulb (CFL), more than 200 000 tonnes of CO2 emissions would be eliminated in a year. CFL light bulbs last ten times longer than traditional bulbs and use a fraction of the energy.

ORANGE : Exercise caution when choosing these as there are reasons for concern: - Rare from overfishing and cannot sustain current pressure.

- The fishery that catches them may cause particularly severe environmental damage and/or has high bycatch.

- The life-style (biology) of the species makes it vulnerable to high fishing pressure.

A BRIGHTER IDEA

www.wwf.org.za

RED : These species are illegal to buy or sell in South Africa. Some are specially protwcted and others are "no-sale" species, reserved for recreational fishing only (you need a valid recreational permit to catch them, and must adhere to specific regulations).

Avoid opening the fridge, the freezer or the oven unnecessarily. For each minute a fridge door is open, it takes three energy guzzling minutes for it to cool down again. It can take a freezer as long as thirty minutes to regain its temperature if the door is open for just one minute. Every time you open the oven while cooking, you lose heat, making the meal take longer and use more energy.

SASSI is collaborative initiative by WWF South Africa andothers that aims to improve the conserva tion status of overexploited seafood species through education and awareness.

The list tells you about which seafood species are legal and more sustainable choices from South African fish population.

KEEPING IT CLOSED

Each color has different meaning:

.... at home

GREEN : The most sustainable choices from the healthiest and most well managed populations. These species can handle current fishing pressure.

REDUCING YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT...

DON’T OVERCHARGE Turn off appliances at the wall. Cellular phone chargers, shavers and electric toothbrushes all continue to draw electricity even when they are fully charged. A television left in standby mode uses nearly a quarter of the electricity it uses when it is on.

WARMING THE OL’ GEYSER Geysers can consume as much as 40% of a household’s energy. Set the thermostat to no more than 60 degrees and fit a geyser blanket (available at hardware stores) to reduce lost heat.

DON’T POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT OR YOURSELF Clean your home and yourself with products that are good to the environment and to you.

Enchantrix stocks a range of organic, biodegradable cleaning products and toiletries and a portion of their profits is donated to WWF. Buy online with a clear conscience at www.enchantrix.co.za.

CAR POOL THE KIDS Sharing lifts with other parents is a great way to reduce traffic, emissions and save on petrol.

KNOWLEDGE IS KEY

Make sure your child’s teacher knows about the WESSA/WWF Eco-Schools Programme and encourage the school to sign up by calling the Eco-Schools head office at 033 330 3931.

WWF South Africa was founded in 1968 by the late Dr. Anton Rupert and was then know as the Southern African Nature Foundation.
