Additional Rain Gear for our in-field teams

In the battle of ‘Cape Parrot Project v The Bramble’, the CPP team needs to work smart and one of the challenges we encounter is the field gear we wear in this titanic battle! The Cape Parrot Project (CPP) is a non-profit, public benefit organisation that seeks to conserve and protect the critically endangered Cape Parrot (Poicephalus robustus) as well as its habitat and other species within these ecosystems, while supporting surrounding communities. Part of the work we do is restoration of critical Cape Parrot habitat with a focus on alien vegetation management, the encouragement of natural regeneration and planting of indigenous species. One of the hardest species to eradicate is the bramble or Rubus sp. with its thicket-like growth and thorny branches. We have been fortunate enough to work with Brownie Points over the past year and, through The Good Economy project, boost our field teams by an extra 12 members - thereby creating additional jobs in our local communities. While we were able to purchase PPE and uniforms, including rain gear, for the teams, we realise that we need to up the ante in the bramble battle and acquire tougher rainsuits for those (many) rainy days in our part of the world. Rubberised rain suits are the way to go! Please let us know if you are able to assist with a financial or in-kind donation. Needs: = 12 team members x 1 rain suit @ R418 TOTAL: R5016 = 12 team members x tough leather gloves @ R200 TOTAL R2400 R7416
