An African Conservation Hero – Garth Owen-Smith 1944-2020
Garth Owen-Smith was the inspiration behind many conservationists’ careers, and indeed, two of his nephews, Derek and Vincent van der Merwe, work for the EWT’s Carnivore Conservation Programme today, so we thought it fitting to share these words from Willie Boonzaaier to pay tribute to this icon.
