Something else was on my mind

[Dream Weaver]

[FinMari]

He led the initiative to create the Transfrontier Peace Parks?

He did also that, but I'm thinking some donation after his passing to one SANPark. Negotiation started on 2005 and happened 2006

Might do something about the area where he was born

[Dream Weaver]

OK, FinMari, I found this online:
“ The beautiful Winterhoek area was later added to Camdeboo National Park thereby extending the Park’s size to 19 137 hectares. Before his death, Dr. Anton Rupert embarked on negotiations with the owners of the Winterhoek farm and planned to donate this land to the Park once he had purchased it. Dr. Rupert’s family honoured his wishes - they bought the Winterhoek farm, paid for the restorations and donated this beautiful piece of land to the Camdeboo National Park.”

Who had the nickname “Mculu”?

[FinMari]

Ben Lamprecht who served in conservation in the South African National Park for 26 years. Mculu is a Shangaan word referring to the manner in which Ben was known to walk with his shoulders pulled up high.

Interesting is there is also a tusker named to honor him. First time spotted in 2009 at Letaba area

[Dream Weaver]

Correct, FinMari and for the bonus fact about Mculu the tusker
