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.

Considered one of the βTiny Tenβ - the group of the smallest antelope of Africa - the common duiker (gray duiker or bush duiker) lives almost always on the edge of visibility.
Not easy to capture on film β the moment is often just a shift in the foliage and then absence again β so we are happy to capture this little one and to share here!

WITHIN US
We have a rhythm in us at Zuka!
We see it in the turning of the seasons, in the shifting of the colours of the grassy plains, in the movement of wildlife, in the cycles of the sky, the equinoxes, and, in the people who hold this place together.
Easter is one of those moments where human tradition and the natural world intertwine, arriving each year through the rhythm of the earth, the sun and the moon.
When we come together, that rhythm moves each of us and is expressed collectively too.
The rhythm that shapes the wild, lives within us. π

CONSERVATION
The thermal drone is now part of daily fieldwork across our conservancy, supporting wildlife monitoring, security, and land management with a level of precision not previously possible.
Thermal capability allows for real-time tracking of animals in low visibility and at night, adding both insight and safety to conservation responses.
Here, the team are looking for hyena dens for research, and, in a different context, from fixed-point imaging for early fire detection and guiding bush clearing with accuracy, they can glean a wider, more informed view of the landscape.
This is how technology may support, rather than replace, the experience, knowledge and intuition of the teams who know this land so well.

Not often seen is interaction between lions and a monitor lizard!
Both true survivors with their sensory precision and behavioural intelligence.

THIS PLACE ON EARTH
Gladstones takes its name from the iconic bag, crafted during a time when travel was shifting from the unknown to the mapped β a period when few places were more central to that transformation than Africa.
Yet the land, its people and its rhythms were never truly undiscovered - only newly seen through a different lens.
βNobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.β
~ Wendell Berry, A Place on Earth ~
