Africa Wild

Hi Richprins 0/* Thanks! I say 'come right' as its still pretty devastated following the civil war. Land mines have been cleared, and the fence between it and the north-eastern border for 50km has been removed for a few years now - but animal numbers are drastically low and need to recover (just 10...

Eagerly awaiting feedback!

if we have any mammal ecologists on the forum I would love to hear their perspective Can we send it on to some scientific contacts, Ginzy? Are you involved with the creation of the final study yourself? 0/* Unfortunately I am not - just a casual interested individual..let's send it on onto some sci...

Zinave National park covers an area of 400 000 ha and is situated in the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park Conservation Area (GLTP TCFA), which is envisioned to be a gigantic geographic area covering 10 million hectares, having the GLTP with Kruger, Limpopo and Gonarezhou Parks at its core, with othe...

A few years ago plans were afoot to link the Pilanesberg and Madikwe game reserves - however amongst other issues, mining to the north of Pilanesberg may have gotten in the way 0= Does anyone have any insight or information into whether this is a pie in the sky or if there is a genuine will for it? ...

Hi 0/* According to the paper, the ecological benchmark density for Hwange is 1.9 (it already is noted as being overpopulated at 2.3), where the density for Kruger is 2.5 per km^2 - indeed you are right that it varies by park. Etosha for example, is predicted to be able to only support 0.2 per km^2,...

Hi Okie, I must say I was surprised by the results too. The best way to critique it would be to interrogate the methodology and the data. Quite an involved background in applied statistics is required, but one can follow the logic to a point if need be. It may be interesting if we could get some fee...

Thanks Lisbeth :) Whilst there is poaching in Zimbabwe (and the poaching wave descending from East Africa is a big worry), it has not been high relative to the slaughters in Tanzania and Mozambique for example. Elephant populations are relatively ok. You will see that Gonarezhou park, north of kruge...

Hi All, First post on the forum 0/* Thought I would introduce myself with an interesting, scientific piece of information on elephants - animals very close to my heart. This is the first scientific study ever conducted, using statistical techniques, which predicts what a natural population of elepha...
