Summary
It is pleasant to have an opportunity to deal with the subject of interpretation in nature conservation at a time when so many diversified and often ingenious efforts over the years are becoming formalized into systems with specially trained personnel supplied with specific and reasonable budgets to enable them to really get on with the job. Preparations for the writing of this paper have led to the decision that education in nature conservation, unquestionably running as a thread throughout most of our interpretative efforts is truly a very different approach. From earliest 'pupil' nature studies of old faithfuls like the grasshopper and the mealie to the most sophisticated university courses involving most intricate ecological studies of environmental interests, and the most valuable educational programmes of volunteer Societies, education must, in the main, yield pride of place in this contribution to interpretation as practiced by the professionals privileged to control visiting in proclaimed parks, game and nature reserves in the Republic of South Africa (RSA) today.
