Unexpected Wildlife Moments Captured

Our research team's motion sensor cameras have once again revealed the surprising and vital role they play in conservation efforts. In a recent video, we uncovered a poignant moment when a Common duiker, sadly a victim of a road accident, was found. Rather than leaving it in a dangerous spot, our Ecology Manager carefully moved it to our reserve.

By relocating the duiker, we aimed to prevent further risks to wildlife and vehicles and allow scavengers to safely feed. The footage we retrieved was truly fascinating! We were excited to see an African Goshawk and a pair of Honey Badgers making use of this unexpected resource.

Watch the video to see these incredible wildlife interactions and learn more about the important work we're doing to protect our natural world.
