The great news is that our anti-poaching efforts have been sustained and we have not recently had any poaching incidences.
Recently, however, one of our neighbouring Reserves was targeted and their electric fence was cut and goods were stolen. This brought to mind the ongoing challenge that we face to ensure the safety of our wild! We have now decided to install satellite surveillance over our Reserve. However, we would only be able to do this with your support.
The risk of poaching continues to be a constant concern and every night we are anxious about the safety of our wild. Especially on our mind are our darling zebra, Stripy, Tammy, and Milkyway our new zebra stallion. They keep watch over the young female wildebeest, Flower Patch, that they “adopted” when her mother was snared.
There are also other wildebeest, Franky the young bull and the territorial bull Ragnar who together with the zebra, come up to our homestead each evening. After visiting us they love to visit our guests at Leopard Walk Lodge.
However, all our wild animal species are precious and your support helps protect them! But we must do even more to completely ensure their safety!
Thank you for caring and being champions of our Reserve and all its animals and biodiversity.
