Conservation at Mount Camdeboo

 

We are constantly documenting the flora and fauna we find, conducting research and sending it on to relevant organisations. Through this, we have stumbled accross species that up until a few years ago, had only been studied through specimens found over a hundred years back. Our cheetah and rhino are actively monitored daily.

 

When our female cheetah had cubs and they reached the age where they needed to relocated to other reserves (which we do to help ensure the best genetic diversity of the species), the movement was facilitated by the Cheetah Metapopulation Project run by the Endangered Wildlife Trust.   

 

Our rhino, well ... considering the current state of rhino populations worldwide, we wholeheartedly believe in doing what we can to ensure this species' survival.  We are affiliated with Poached Rhino, an organisation dedicated to stop rhino poaching in South Africa. 

 

But though our baseline conservation does focus heavily on these two species, we make it a point to not neglect the small stuff. For example, we are hopefully going to be embarking on an exciting new project involving spider surveys in the very near future. We constantly keep an eye on another of our endangered species, the Cape mountain zebra. We do night drives and camera trap surveys to help keep track of our nocturnal critters. And that's just a tiny fraction of the work we do.

 

Our projects not only help the wildlife on the reserve, but we intend them to make a greater impact on the environment and conservation on a much larger scale.
