About Bo

Raptor Conservation Projects (RCP) 

Ill at ease with the long-term negative impact that is associated with continued artificial supplementation and in October 2000, I resigned from the BEPR and initiated our own project known as the RCP to determine what natural species prevailed and the abundance thereof within the eagles’ greater home range.

Bat house

In an effort to create awareness and appreciaton for bats, tiny bat houses will be built and erected. Once the bat families start to move in, their activities can be monitored and studied. If you need a bat house to be erected in your vicinity, call or message me.

Bug & Insect Houses

Insect hotels are popular amongst gardeners and fruit and vegetable growers due to their role encouraging insect pollination. If you need a bug or insect house to be erected in your vicinity, call or message me.

Owl Nesting Box

We need to explore avenues to promote owl awareness amongst the farming community. Building and erecting owl nest boxes could grant the opportunity to observe and study them.
