One of Crocworld Conservation Centre’s most famous residents will be back on display this year!

Norris the Stork is being reintroduced to his mate in the hope of producing more Marabou Storks. This is one of Crocworld’s many breeding programmes which are instrumental in furthering the genetic diversity of threatened species. Norris has shown significant success in the programme, fathering a number of chicks over the years, including two last year.

Crocworld’s Animal Curator, Busani Mthiyane, said: “We are patiently monitoring and observing his behaviour towards his mates. The introduction of this Marabou stork comes with the intention of increasing their breeding rate as we now have two males and one female on display.”

Marabou Storks breed during the dry season only and play an important role in the ecosystem by scavenging on carcasses. Don’t miss the chance to visit Norris and friends at Crocworld!

  1. “I suspect in most companies, the Public Relations person is down at No. 20 in the pecking order. But here, he is fighting incredibly important battles. If a negative story starts running away with itself in the press and is not dealt with fast, it can badly damage the brand, and so we put enormous weight on our PR people.” – Richard Branson

  2. First PR Agency: Modern PR dates to 1900, when the first Public Relations agency, “The Publicity Bureau,” was founded by former Boston journalists. The agency operated for “some 12 years before it disappeared into the sands of oblivion.” However, PR continued to grow throughout the early 1900s thanks to popular pioneers such as Ivy Lee and Edward Bernays (we’ll get back to them later).

  3. Public relations practitioners use a variety of tools and tactics to build mutually beneficial relationships between an organization and its target audiences. This can include everything from media relations and crisis communications to social media outreach and event planning.
