UKZN Durban Alumni Association Invitation: Talk by UKZN Alumnus Richard Boon - Mon, 9 October 2017
Dear Alumni and friends,
THE IMPORTANCE OF
D’MOSS BY RICHARD BOON - UKZN ALUMNUS AND ETHEKWINI MUNICIPALITY’S MANAGER OF
THE BIODIVERSITY PLANNING BRANCH IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND CLIMATE
PROTECTION DEPARTMENT
D’MOSS stands for
the Durban Metropolitan Open Space System, which was also previously known as
the eThekwini Environmental Services Management Plan or EESMP. D’MOSS is a
system of open spaces, some 74 000ha of land and water,that incorporates areas
of high biodiversity value linked together in a viable network of open spaces.
Examples of areas
included in D’MOSS are nature reserves (e.g. Paradise Valley, Burman Bush and
Kenneth Stainbank Reserve), large rural landscapes in the upper catchments and
riverine and coastal corridors. Some areas of privately-owned land are also
included in D’MOSS.
Richard Boon’s
presentation will focus on the importance and history of the Durban Metropolitan
Open Space System, opening our eyes to an integral part of our daily lives
in eThekwini.
Prepare to be
enlightened as you join us for what promises to be a most entertaining, family
friendly evening with wine, juice, snacks and good-company afterwards!
