In November 2009 the Mogalakwena Research Centre received a very generous gift of three camera traps. We immediately got to work charging, discovering the mechanics of and setting the camera traps across the River Reserve!
On their first deployment, the camera traps returned some amazing and very exciting photographs! We were able to get incredibly close and good quality photographs and videos of a range of animals and their activities. Most thrilling thus far has been the discovery of an active Aardwolf den on the River Reserve. The den is inhabited by two Aardwolf; a positive sign for breeding.
The camera traps will be used to identify and plot the distribution and abundance of more secretive animals on the Mogalakwena Reserves. This will help identify habitats that need to be carefully monitored and conserved.
