List Of South African Animals
Protection for threatened red list species
South Africa’s red list of species threatened with extinction was announced in 2004, a full 18 years after the last assessment was made. Of the 295 mammals surveyed, 19% are either critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable. Concerted action is being taken on all fronts to bolster their numbers.

The very first Red Data Book was published in 1963 by Sir Peter Scott of the IUCN (World Conservation Union) in the United Kingdom.
Updated regularly, it has remained one of the world’s most useful ways of highlighting the potential losses of biodiversity. In fact, most conservationists say that this list has probably saved dozens of species that might otherwise have sunk quietly into extinction.

Available to book online on bookmyroom-sa.com.
Top of the list of priorities are the animals labeled ‘critically endangered’. These face an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
South Africa’s red list of these species includes 10 animals, or 3.4% of the country’s mammals.
Most of these are animals with little chance of being seen – no less than 5 species of golden moles, 2 species of bats, along with slightly more visible species like the desert black rhino, riverine rabbit and Ngoye red squirrel.
That’s followed by ‘endangered’, with a very high risk of extinction (18 species), then 29 species listed as ‘vulnerable’. Their continued existence demands intervention.
The next category on South Africa’s red list species is ‘near-threatened’, also informally referred to as ‘threatened’. These are species that may qualify for one of the above in the near future.
Other categories are animals of ‘least concern’ and ‘data deficient’.
South Africa’s red list of threatened species was updated in 2004, and unlike the previous list of 1986, includes marine mammals.
All red listed species in South Africa are receiving special conservation attention. In many cases, private landowners have proved pivotal in providing sanctuaries that boost numbers. The oribi antelope is one example of a species that has benefited.

The Education of African-Americans $49 As part of a project on the status of African-Americans that was initiated by the William Monroe Institute for the Study of Black Culture at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, this volume takes a comprehensive look at the education of African-Americans, specifically early childhood through postsecondary education, and relevant public policy issues since 1940. The list of contributors to the study includes both white and black scholars who are affiliated with primarily urban institutions located in the Northwest, the South, and on the East Coast who are deeply committed to educational research. By focusing on the known status of the education of African-Americans to date and the additional factors which need to be considered in order to develop appropriate educational strategies, these essays evaluate current programs and provide recommendations for public policy improvements. Each essay addresses some aspect of the history of the education of African-Americans or the effectiveness of pertinent laws and policies enacted within the past fifty years. Trends in the educational advancement of Blacks are clearly defined with particular focus on the forecasting of circumstances that could affect future progress. Topics ranging from counseling and guidance of minority children to the need for more Black teachers and the continuing struggle with racial violence on campus, demonstrate the broad scope of this volume. Suggestions for further reading on a specific topic appear in the list of references at the end of each chapter. |

South African Truth Commission $84 Over the last thirty years, many political transitions from authoritarian regimes and dictatorial political systems have been accompanied by Truth Commissions. Since 1974 there have been over twenty of these Commissions established in countries as diverse as Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, the Philippines and Germany, among others. Perhaps the most important Truth Commission of our time is the South African one which also seeks to act as a mechanism for reconciliation in a divided society. The South African conflict was extremely long and violent; its victims suffered traumatic experiences and, in part, one of the Commission’s functions is to allow their story to be told. This book tries to examine the Truth Commission here and the issues that surround it, assessing different versions of the South African past and the complex negotiations leading to the establishment of the Commission and the complex politics of amnesty, justice and nation-building. |

South African Art Now $34.99 Described by international curator Okwui Enwezor as “one of the most dynamic and vigorous spaces of artistic practice,” contemporary South African art is an exciting, emerging scene that is attracting the attention of international museums, curators, and collectors today.
