Check out the article by Toka Mosikidi, EFTEON student, on the three African warbler species that delay their dawn chorus when temperatures drop. He set up automated audio recorders to capture birdsong and study how freezing temperatures affect their singing behaviour.

The Indigenous garden supported by NRF-SAEON EFTEON at Bambanani Primary School in the Northern Drakensberg, established while working with the NGO “One Planet South Africa,” is thriving. This resource provides an outdoor classroom for learning about indigenous plants and instills appreciation for our environment.
