Nature on Your Doorstep has Identified Ingcungcu sunbird restoration and Birdlife South Africa as it’s ornithology donation beneficiaries to work in conjunction with to help promote and protect our precious wildlife. Ingcungcu( meaning long billed bird), is a boots on the ground community driven project that does amazing work with the schools to help educate and bring awareness to the children. BirdLife South Africa is the only dedicated bird conservation organisation in South Africa and focus’s on the conservation of the most threatened birds, as well as on protecting IBAs and KBAs.
We aim to heal the relationship between plants, birds and people by restoring migration routes for nectar feeding birds across the city of Cape Town. Our vision is to grow a migration corridor across the Cape Flats linking Muizenberg Mountain to the Boland Mountains, connecting isolated patches of lowland Fynbos and reconnecting urban communities to nature. By planting gardens of carefully selected nectar producing plants on strategically located school grounds we are creating “filling stations” for birds and outdoor classrooms for learners.
