The Cape Leopard Trust #Mobikraal project has been working closely with five test sites across southern Africa where prototypes of our design for an affordable, mobile and predator-proof kraal will be rigorously tested in 2025. Our pre-monitoring camera traps have spotted a wide array of species roaming around the farms, providing important baseline information. We look forward to the next phase of the project when the innovative design will be put through its paces, hopefully resulting in an effective, useful tool for predator-livestock conflict mitigation that will benefit communities globally. We would like to sincerely thank the test farms, partners and funders for their support in 2024. Mobi-kraal is supported by The Royal Commission for AlUla, Hans Hoheisen Charitable Trust, Van Tienhoven Foundation, Oppenheimer Generations Research & Conservation and Spoor & Fisher along with facilitating partners Shangani Holistic Ranch and Primate and Predator Project.

Fewer than 7,000 cheetahs remain, occupying just 9% of their historic range. For 50 years, the EWT has championed cheetah conservation, driving population growth in South Africa and restoration efforts across Africa. Thanks to partners like the Ford Motor Company Wildlife Foundation, who donated our reliable Ford Ranger, and MetroFibre, whose generous funding supports our work, we’re making daily progress in securing a future for cheetahs. This #CheetahDay and #WorldConservationDay, join us to ensure these iconic cats and countless other species thrive. 🌍🐾 #ProtectingForeverTogether

#DidYouKnow: The Aberdares is home to approximately 3,600 elephants, with a density of 2.1 elephants per square kilometer. With the current population estimated to represent nearly 10% of the total elephant population in the country, the elephant density in the forest and park areas crossed by the proposed road is high. This means that the proposed road will have a significant long-term impact on this important elephant population through habitat destruction and disturbance during the construction of the road, as well as by increasing traffic and the risk of road killings. This construction poses a serious threat to elephant conservation efforts in the Aberdares.

It's great to look back on the accomplishments of the 23/24 financial year which saw 3 #SANG transfer to The Land Trust in 3 different counties, bringing the Trust’s SANG portfolio to 14, spanning nearly 400 hectares. The pipeline for new SANG is growing every month and subject to the usual caveats, we expect to acquire over 100 hectares by March 2026. With the introduction of mandatory #BNG and the nascent offsite BU market, most new SANG on LT's pipeline have stacked BNG with a view of selling the BU alongside the SANG capacity. It's made for some interesting debate and adds a new layer of complexity to the legal negotiation, but overall it's positive to quantify and deliver multiple benefits from green infrastructure in perpetuity. There's a lot of discussion around the nascent BU market and supply and demand at the moment. One anecdotal observation from me is that it is reasonable to assume that the BU market will be more buoyant in LPAs where SANG are required. This could impact pricing of BU in these areas due to greater supply and 'SANG BU' potentially able to be sold for less than 'Habitat Bank BU'.  

Never feed wildlife. Feeding coyotes intentionally or unintentionally is the cause behind many incidents of coyotes approaching or biting people. Just like domestic dogs, food can be a great motivator for uneasy wildlife – and by providing food (directly or indirectly by feeding or attracting other animals) we teach coyotes to expect food from people. By ensuring coyotes do not expect food rewards from anyone, we reduce the chances they’ll approach or get closer to people. 2 Keep dogs on leash. In a multi-year study, 92.3% of dogs who had encounters with coyotes were off-leash. Particularly when coyotes and other wildlife are active – dusk to dawn – keeping dogs on leash not only prevents potential issues with wildlife (who may view dogs as a threat) but can prevent and reduce traffic collisions, negative encounters with people or other dogs, and is frequently required by law. 3 Know the neighbours. If you’re aware of which species are in your community, you can be properly prepared to encounter them and know how to appropriately react. For example, if you’re aware coyotes live in the area and one monitors or follows you through a forest, you may know that this is a common behaviour that isn’t a threat or danger – it’s curiosity and worry for family. 4 Manage attractants and talk to your neighbours about them. Whether it’s a bird feeder, outdoor pet food, or an overflowing compost bin, identifying and managing attractants when wildlife are present can reduce negative encounters. Click here to learn more about managing attractants and what to look for around your home or business. 5 Removal of wildlife is not a solution. The idea of taking a coyote from an urban area and dropping them in a remote wilderness may seem logical, but it’s a highly traumatizing event that can lead to greater issues by breaking up family units, creating conflict within territories, and potentially spreading disease. Wildlife are in our communities because, even though they’re urban or suburban, they’re still part of ecosystems. Learning to coexist – and thrive – with wildlife around us makes for a healthier community and planet. Learn more about the One Health approach by clicking here.
