In the last year we were able to track an additional seven different species, beyond the leopard research. There were 1,250 camera trap photos taken which helps us with further observation and analysis of the leopards and these seven species. These seven species include the black-baked Jackal, civet, genet, honey badger, lion, spotted hyena, and white-tailed mongoose.
Additionally, from these camera traps were able solicit the most prominent animal from our data is the black-baked jackal with 23.7% visibility, with the civet coming in second with 15.2% visibility. We saw an intense increase in leopard visibility during the months of August and December with an overall visibility of 10.6%. With having this accurate data it helps us prepare better for human wildlife conflict and the understand of leopard movement.
We have great plans for 2018 to get involved with day data collection kit, data entry kit and night data kit. Be on the lookout for more updates on both African Impact Foundation and African Impact – South Africa Conservation project Facebook page. Thank you to all our amazing donors!
