Wildlands Conservation Trust held their third annual Earth Night with sponsors Old Mutual South Africa at the Old Mutual Conference Centre at Kirstenbosch Gardens last Friday. Dressed to impress, friends of Wildlands and Old Mutual gathered to celebrate the success of their various projects and raise funds for the year ahead. Dr. Andrew Venter, CEO of Wildlands Conservation Trust opened the evening, sporting his proudly South African waistcoat and delivering a moving speech about his passion for our country, the dire state of our environment and the changes that need to happen fast. Karen Thomas, national marketing manager: personal financial advice and private wealth management at Old Mutual, told the crowd about how proud they are to be involved with Wildlands and is actively involved in their Wild series mountain bike challenges. Motivational speaker, mountaineer and expedition guide, Sibusiso Vilane (the first African to climb Mount Everest) also gave a wonderful speech, saying, my inspiration was to do it for Africa. The evening was marked by lip-smacking food and great company. In the end, they managed to raise R394 000.
