integration of information, cooperation, probability planning, team building, practicing the
appropriate skills needed, stealth, speed, ambush, coordinated strike attack with tool/weapons
of choice, target acquisition, backup plans, alternatives and options depending on target
reaction, immobilization, acquisition, relief, collection, evacuation, media and benefit sharing,
debriefing, and the mixed emotions of relief, celebration, deflation, sorrow, and sadness. In the
modern world this basic process is still used in our offices and cities, apart from rural areas.
Just as the ancient hunters once did, we engage in probability preparation, all immersive
pursuit (the chase), acquisition, and egalitarian sharing as part of overcoming the object of
pursuit. It is unknown what other hunter-gatherer vestiges remain, either encoded or learnt,
such as in the role of prophetic visionary healers (“shamans” or as better referred to as trance
dancer healer), leadership, warriors, sports, gender behaviors, divisions of labor, obtaining a
spouse, finding a house, cooperation, sharing, traveling, transportation, laws and ethics of
engagement, and hunting for and maintaining jobs, or how do they influence our relationship
with our fellow travelers in our closed system space ship.
Our experience with writing is mostly medical scientific writing with a few stories relating
to photography, sailing and other adventures. We are reasonably read individuals, but do not
claim to be academics in the fields we often discuss and cover. Rather our discussions should
be seen as our own perceptions of experienced events. We do, however, have a long interest in
climatology, geology, agriculture, the outdoors, and nature conservation. One of us grew up in
the cooling setting sun shadow of Kamhlabane with the Lebombo plains below, among both
hunter-gatherers and herding pastoralists, but came from an agrarian background, and for 50
years spent considerable time in the Kruger Park and the African thorny Bushveld, mostly
hunting for wildlife to photograph it. There are few more inspiring adventures than hiking on
foot, or riding a horse, or even driving in a car, looking for wildlife in the African Bushveld.
Around the next bush or bend, there may be randomly a lion, or a leopard, or a rhino, ready to
confront you, as still happens, and makes you realize how small and insignificant you are
without a car or weapon for protection. Undoubtedly, our perceptions will not be the same as
others. We welcome feedback where we have been in error.
Thus, this topic is a report of a trip, the discussions between traveling companions, and our
perceptions. We trust it will stimulate your thoughts and enrich your next adventure, even
beyond Africa, and particularly stimulate a great concern for the earth's challenges, wildlife
and habitat conservation, or what we refer to as “Sustainable Restorancy” - the return of
denuded and destroyed lands by mankind back to areas where wildlife can again thrive and
benefit all peoples.
Will we, wildlife, survive?
An important question is obvious: does mankind really need wildlife, like bison, antelope,
pachyderms, predators, and others, apart from the emotional value of admiring and nurturing
charismatic animals that are the “same as us?” We will try to convince you that economically
and for our own survival we need to preserve and restore wildlife habitat and animals. But, it
will become clear, that the tools for wildlife managers in the African savanna closed
