Species diversity in our Conservancy PDF Print E-mail

As a result of the request to complete species data lists for a year, some of our members carefully recorded the diverse species of reptiles, mammals, bird species, as well as indigenous vegetation on their properties.

They were suprised that eight snake species, 18 different kinds of mammals and 70 bird species (including the very rare and endangered African Finfoot) frequent an area of approximately 100 hectares to the east of the Magalies River, as well as an abundance of 13 indigenous tree and shrub species.

One can hardly imagine the species diversity of the entire Conservancy, covering approximately 5 000 hectares!

This knowledge can support any motivation against undesirable developments in the Conservancy. A detailed species list is available  - click here to view.

Good news – the Long-crested eagle that was spotted during May last year, has once again been seen in the Conservancy. Maybe this beautiful bird (its habitat actually being the Waterberg and the pine forests of Mpumalanga and Natal) has decided to make our Conservancy its home!
