Vrystaat Jagters en Wildbewaringsvereniging het, na aanleiding
van die bedreiging, wat Jakkalse en Rooikatte vir boere inhou,
besluit om ‘n projek, uit eie inisiatief van stapel te stuur, om die
probleem aan te spreek. Na deeglike oorweging het Vrystaat
Jagters ‘n Roofdierbeheer Tak gestig en ‘n Opleidingskursus vir
hulle lede ontwerp om hierdie roofdiere te beheer.
Die Opleidingskursus vind oor ‘n periode van ‘n paar dae plaas en
sodra lede die kursus geslaag het, word hulle deur Vrystaat Jagters
gesertifiseer en word hulle by boere aanbeveel om hierdie
roofdiere te jag. Streng dissipline word gehandhaaf en
terugvoering word aan Vrystaat Jagters gegee.
Die Raad van CHASA ondersteun Vrystaat Jagters se projek ten
volle aangesien goeie resultate behaal word. Vrystaat Jagters doen
’n beroep op lidverenigings in ander provinsies om die kursus
onder hulle lede bekend te stel. Vrystaat Jagters is bereid om die
opleiding plaaslik te verskaf indien getalle dit regverdig. Enige lid
wat belangstel en verdere besonderhede verlang, kan vir Daan
Bodenstein kontak by Sel: 083 489 9193.
Kaapjag het ‘n blink nuwe bakkie in ontvangs geneem wat geborg is deur
Jaffe’s Ford op Worcester. Die sleutels is aan Kaapjag oorhandig deur De
Villiers Barry, eienaar van Jaffes’ Ford en beide organisasies het die hoop
uitgespreek dat hierdie ruim borgskap die verhouding wat reeds lank
tussen ons bestaan, op ‘n heel nuwe vlak sal plaas. Hierdie voertuig sal aan
Kaapjag groter sigbaarheid bring en sal bydra tot die positiewe beeld wat
Kaapjag reeds in die Wes-Kaap en die res van die land geniet. Die
dagbestuur van Kaapjag spreek hiermee hul opregte dank en waardering
teenoor Jaffe’s Ford uit.

MONITORING AND MEASURING
INFRASTRUCTURE’S IMPACTS ON BIODIVERSITY
THIS NATIONAL TRANSPORT MONTH
1st October 2014
October is Transport Month in South Africa, with an emphasis on the safety of all road users – this includes the
safety of family, friends, and our wildlife. As part of this campaign, the Endangered Wildlife Trust’s Wildlife and
Roads Project (EWT-WRP) will be conducting a roadkill survey in Pilanesberg National Park, in North West
Province, to monitor the impact of roads and traffic on wildlife and biodiversity.
Roadkill data collected during these surveys will assist the park with identifying roadkill 'hotspots' within the
park. Once we have identified these, then we will be able to decide on possible solutions to reduce wildlife
road mortalities.
The EWT encourages motorists to become citizen scientists by contributing to roadkill research. The project's
home page is http://www.ewt.org.za/WTP/wtp.html and a smartphone app can be downloaded from the page
which assists motorists to submit geo- tagged photographs of any roadkill they encounter.
"Roadkill research is not only important from an ecological standpoint, but also contributes to road safety,
because crashes with large wild animals can be fatal to vehicle occupants too." said Wendy Collinson, EWT's
Wildlife and Roads Project Executant.
Various forms of transport have all been reported to impact negatively on wildlife and continue to be a threat
to biodiversity. Direct collision is the most evident impact due to its visual nature, but the disruption of
ecological processes is equally important. Vehicle emissions contribute to air pollution, and rainwater run-off
tends to pick up petrol, motor oil, and other pollutants resulting in water pollution. Unfortunately these
pollutants all impact wildlife populations indirectly.
Local and international evidence suggests that roadkill is a real threat to the survival of a variety of species. “In
our preliminary survey in May in Pilanesberg National Park, I found 23 dead animals on the road, over a nineday period,including terrapins, snakes and rodents" added Collinson.
The EWT's Wildlife and Roads Project is a recent recipient of a major international award. The Infra Eco
Network Europe’s 2014 Personal Award was presented to Wendy Collinson in recognition of her achievements
for promoting awareness of wildlife road mortalities in South Africa.
For the third year running, the EWT's Wildlife and Roads Project was also a finalist in South Africa’s annual EcoLogic Awards, and awarded a Certificate of Merit in the ‘Transport Category Award’, for its efforts to reduce
the environmental impact of transport.
The EWT’s Wildlife and Roads Project is supported by Bridgestone SA and Arrow Bulk Logistics, with logistical
support from Mopane Bush Lodge. For further information please contact Wendy Collinson on
