Committed To Conservation

As the Lungwevungu River gets wider, the rapids get stronger and Kerllen Costa has to find the navigable lines to pass safely through.

Rolex, through its Perpetual Planet Initiative, is supporting a ground-breaking scientific initiative that explores the uncharted territories of Africa’s great rivers, the Great Spine of Africa series of expeditions, in collaboration with Steve Boyes, a prominent South African ornithologist and conservation biologist.

Boyes has dedicated his life to preserving Africa’s great wildernesses and the species that depend on them. A partner of the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative, Boyes is the Chairman of the Wild Bird Trust, a National Geographic Explorer and Senior TED Fellow.
