PROJECTS - Equipment for Animal Studies
SMALL PREDATORY MAMMAL STUDY
EQUIPMENT: Radio telemetry (tracking) equipment was provided to
Shamwari Game Reserve so that certain essential small predators
(e.g. black-backed jackals, caracal cats, etc.) that are hunted
to near extinction by farmers, can be studied in order to determine
their range, habits, and needs in space restricted areas. Such predators
are essential to the balance of wildlife. Without them rats and
other "undesirable", but necessary animals overpopulate.
