'Barn Swallow v Goliath'

The Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has been given the green light to begin construction on the Dube Trade Port in Durban, including King Shaka International Airport on condition that they focus on rehabilitating the wetlands in the area, and to ensure minimal impact on the Barn Swallows that roost in the area. Flight schedules will even have to be planned around the flight times of the swallows. Birdlife SA, are now satisfied that enough work has been done to ensure the continuous survival of the Barn Swallows that roost within the trade port area. All chameleons found will also be removed and relocated to similar bush clumps not scheduled for removal.
