A MULTIFACETED ECOLOGY VENTURE
A MULTIFACETED ECOLOGY VENTURE
In 2021, while celebrating 20 years of restoring, protecting and preserving the wild that is Zuka Private Game Reserve, Tara and Jessica created Getty Asterism.
By formalising the growing team, with their passion for the natural world and their extraordinary discoveries across the reserve, into a multifaceted ecology venture, Getty Asterism, our impact can evolve, ripple outwards and head into the future.

TALKING OCEAN!
Dr Camilla Floros, Principal Scientist and Marine Programme Manager for Oceans Without Borders will be speaking at Ocean Talks 2025 today!
Staged annually in London by Boat International and sponsored by Ocean Family Foundation, Ocean Talks brings together the yachting industry with champions of marine conservation.
Dr Floros leads and develops the marine rangers in their work on, in and next to the Indian Ocean with projects spanning Tanzania and Mozambique, which positively impact a 3,000 kilometre stretch of seascape.
The @oceanswithoutborders projects are varied and Dr Floros takes on the individuality and challenges of each geography and seascape.
“The Bazaruto Archipelago, for example, is well known for its megafauna… whales, whale sharks and other sharks species. It’s also known for dugongs, an endangered species and the last viable population within the western Indian Ocean, so it’s a really, really important habitat.”

OCEANS WITHOUT BORDERS
Launching Ocean Family Foundation in 2018, we were excited to grant the seed funding to Oceans Without Borders for their launch too!
This ongoing multi-year commitment, along with our annual fundraising through our participation with @tusk Wildlife Ranger Challenge, has helped positively impact 3,000 kilometres of African Coastline.
From Mnemba Island off Zanzibar in Tanzania, through the Quirimbas and Bazaruto Archipelagos of Mozambique, to the reef sites on our Indian Ocean coastline and the World Heritage Site iSimangaliso that borders Zuka Private Game Reserve, the multifaceted approach of Oceans Without Borders strengthens the conservation status of these areas.
Operated by Wild Impact, who work collaboratively with partner communities and key stakeholders to conserve wild landscapes and seascapes, this programme brings together broad expertise and works intimately with coastal and island communities, expanding opportunities for local community development, and contributing to global efforts to protect our oceans.

RELATIONSHIP
Close proximity to the Indian Ocean was at the heart of our original commitment to Zuka 24 years ago!
Zuka’s geology, varied habitats, ecosystems and biodiversity exist as a result of this area’s relationship with the ocean over many millennia.
We spend a lot of time on this stretch of coastline that we love so much, and in 2018 we formed Ocean Family Foundation, and from this, the seed funding and our continued commitment to the @oceanswithoutborders programme.
Our stretch of coastline falls within @iSimangaliso - South Africa’s largest Marine Protected Area; the offshore expansion of this 1970’s established MPA was gazetted in 2019.
We border iSimangaliso and together we comprise an almost unbelievable diversity of eco-systems connecting Zuka to the Indian Ocean!
The ocean is a revered and loved element in Zuka Private Game Reserve’s integrated model and we celebrate World OceansDay 2025!

LEGACY
Since 2019 Zuka Private Game Reserve has been part of an ongoing initiative to re-establish the Temminck’s pangolin (also known as Ground pangolin) across our reserve and the wider Munywana Conservancy.
In partnership with African Pangolin Working Group, this endearing species (the world’s most trafficked mammal) thrives here again. The endeavour involves a complex process for each individual - retrieval, rehabilitation, reintroduction and ongoing monitoring.
The pressure is still on to prevent illegal poaching and disrupt trafficking, yet, wider understanding and collaborative approaches hail conservation stories such as this one!
