Conservation
Coexisting with wildlife is an important aspect of maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Humans and wildlife have coexisted for thousands of years, but as human populations expand and urban areas encroach on natural habitats, it is increasingly important that people respect and protect wildlife by not altering their behaviors through feeding or domesticating them.
Feeding wild animals can create a dependency on humans for food, which can lead to aggressive behavior towards people and other animals. It can also lead to the spread of diseases that may be harmful to both animals and humans. When wild animals become accustomed to humans, they may lose their natural fear of people and begin to rely on them for survival. This can lead to an increase in dangerous interactions between humans and wildlife.
Similarly, domesticating wild animals can have serious consequences. Wild animals are not meant to live in captivity, and they often suffer both physically and mentally when they are removed from their natural habitats. Domesticated animals may also become aggressive towards humans and other animals, and may spread diseases that are harmful to both wildlife and people.
In addition to the dangers of feeding and domesticating wild animals, altering their behaviors can also have negative effects on the environment. For example, feeding birds can lead to an overpopulation of certain bird species, which can lead to a decline in other bird populations that compete for the same resources. Feeding wild animals can also lead to the spread of invasive species, which can disrupt natural ecosystems and harm native species.
To coexist with wildlife in a respectful and responsible manner, it is important that people avoid feeding and domesticating wild animals. Instead, people should take steps to protect and preserve natural habitats, such as reducing their impact on the environment through sustainable living practices and supporting conservation efforts. This can help ensure that wildlife populations continue to thrive in their natural habitats, and that humans can continue to enjoy the beauty and diversity of the natural world.

Security
Spes-Plan Security was first operated from a rented property in De Rust, on the outskirts of Hazyview, in 1996. The Bon Repose Farm, 1 Km on the Graskop Road, was bought in 1999 by LG Hibbert and BH Hibbert in order to move to more suitable premises which is closer to its client base, as well as to be able to expand the operations of Spes-Plan to include facilities for Safety and Security Training.
