Abstract:

Somkhanda Game Reserve has embraced the latest tracking technology in their fight against rhino poaching within the reserve. The game reserve, based in the Zululand District in KwaZulu-Natal, carried out a successful three-day rhino dehorning project last month, during which they also implemented tracking technology to key individuals in the herds. The devices, donated by Wildlife ACT, and fitted during the dehorning process, will assist in tracking a rhino’s movement patterns and allowing teams to respond quickly to irregularities as well as monitor the territories, condition of individuals, demographics and more.
