GROUP PROJECT EMS for the Eland Safari Lodge You have been invited by the National Park Authority and the owners of the Eland Safari Lodge to develop an EMS strategy for the Eland Safari Lodge. The objectives are to: • Reduce material and energy use; • Reduce the output of waste emissions and effluents; • Reduce noise and the disturbance to animals; • Teach visitors about the ecosystem, game species and the importance of environment protection; • Raise the environment awareness of staff; • Enable the Eland Safari Lodge to contribute towards conservation and the improved management of the Park.
160 UNIT 4: ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Read the information given below and develop a report containing: • An overall EMS strategy; • A preliminary environment review checklist; • A checklist of activities that could be undertaken in an environment management programme, including staff training and visitor communication; • A monitoring checklist to asses the achievements of the environment management programme. Make a 15-30 minute presentation outlining the contents of the report. 10 Every year, the Park authorities allocate a number of hunting permits for certain species of abundant antelope to the local population. The objective is to provide” game meat for local consumption BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Eland Safari Lodge is located on the outskirts of a major game reserve, somewhere in Central Africa. It operates 83 rooms, two indoor restaurants, a garden bar and restaurant, a lounge bar, a swimming pool, and a pool bar. The back office areas consist of administrative offices, kitchen, storerooms, a cold room, and maintenance rooms. The average length of stay is 4-6 days. Over 70% of guests are from overseas. The Eland Safari Lodge also operates a safari (wild life viewing) service ‘Savannah Calling’. The welcome and information desk is located next to the Lodge’s reception, and this enables guests to confirm bookings directly upon arrival. Savannah Calling operates 5 open-roof, four-wheel drive vehicles, which seat 7 passengers, and 3 open-roof, 16-seat minibuses. The service employs 6 full-time game rangers. During the peak seasons 3 to 4 additional wildlife enthusiasts are hired to work as ranger-chauffeurs. Savannah Calling operates a programme of 4 game drives a day – at dawn, late afternoon, dusk and night. Each drive lasts around 2 1/2 hours. The surrounding landscape is typical of the savannah bush: dryland vegetation and grass plains interspersed with wooded areas, ponds, and the occasional small lake. There are two monsoon seasons per annum. However, over recent years, the monsoons have not been regular and annual rainfall has halved. The Park originally covered 1,700 square kilometres but today incorporates 1,500 square kilometres. This size reduction is due to: • Increasing pressure for agricultural land from the local population living in the buffer zones; • The lack of adequate funds to maintain 1,700 square kilometres as a protected area. Resident wildlife species include over 300 species of birds, elephant, wildebeest, rhino, hippopotamus, zebra, giraffe, antelope species such as gazelle, topi and eland, crocodile, fox, hyena, and the big predator cats – lion, leopard and cheetah. The local population live around the buffer zones of the Park, and continue to rely on the Park’s ecosystems for fuel and building materials such as peat and grass. They are also allowed to hunt ‘permitted species’ 10 for meat. The nearest large town, Pembroek, is 250 kilometres north of the Park – five or six hours by road. The capital city is 400 kilometres west of the Park. There are 2 flights a week from the capital to a small airport located around 100 kilometres north of the Park. E X E R C I S E S
