These birds need this habitat to breed and forage. It is crucial that the biodiversity in this area is protected as the area forms part of the last remaining rolling grasslands of South Africa and is home to many endemic species of fauna and flora. This area also has important water resources and in a water scarce country mining practices should not be allowed in sensitive areas like this. Lastly Wakkerstroom and its surroundings also plays a very important role in tourism. This mine will offer only short-term benefits and the long term adverse affects that these mining practices will have on the natural environment will be devastating.
