The Cape Leopard Trust (CLT) and the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) have launched the ‘Spotted on the Road’ campaign to raise awareness about wildlife on roads in the Overberg. The campaign is part of the collaborative Tale of Two Leopards project, which focuses on two iconic species found in the Overberg region – the Leopard and the Western Leopard Toad (WLT).
Erratic climate patterns and long drought seasons in Southcentral Uganda have seen crops dry up and wither. In addition to this, farmers also face the crop damage by Endangered Grey Crowned Cranes.
To show the link between amphibian diversity (i.e. healthy amphibian populations) and wetland habitat health, the Endangered Wildlife Trust started long-term monitoring protocols in 2016 to determine habitat health and identify amphibian species diversity at four project sites in eThekwini Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal
Integrated farming promotes the responsible use of natural resources and addressing challenges using local capacity. After a recent knowledge exchange in the Cedarberg, communal farmers confidently took the lead identifying local issues, formulating intervention measures, mobilizing resources and capacity, and implementing relevant solutions.
