Understanding what constitutes suitable Riverine Rabbit habitat, or what has been coined “Rabitat” by the Endangered Wildlife Trust’s bunny expert Bonnie Schumann, is the first step towards conserving this Critically Endangered species.
In KwaMkhize, a community adjacent to the Giants Castle area of the Maloti-Drakensberg Nature Reserve, a group of youth who had felt the harsh effects of hunger requested help from the EWT to change the future by creating not only a food security garden but a sustainable garden.
Through innovative 3D design and printing technology, the EWT developed a working prototype of a remote attachment system mounted on a drone that can attach flappers to powerlines safely.
As a conservation NGO, we are reliant on the generosity and efforts of others to keep our staff in the field doing what they do best, conservation in action.
