and ecosystems in southern Africa to the benefit of all people .
In the latter part of 2016 an entire pack of African wild dogs succumbed to what was assumed to be rabies on the western boundary of the Kruger National Park , despite the EWT team ’ s best efforts . Intervention through increased monitoring and vaccination is therefore pertinent . This includes , as a priority , vaccinating targeted individuals within the pack and fitting a GPS collar for monitoring purposes .
According to Grant Beverley , the EWT ’ s Carnivore Conservation Programme Senior Field Worker , without funding this research project could not continue which would be a major blow to the future conservation and protection of wild dogs against infectious diseases .
“ The Q20 team had the opportunity to witness firsthand the incredible work undertaken by the EWT and the SANParks Veterinary services , having tracked three African wild dog packs with the assistance of the GPS collar , which in itself is no small task given that the packs inhabit large areas of up to 900 square kilometers within the Kruger National Park - in order to dart , inoculate , swab and take blood specimens for analysis . To our shock , we were informed that the GPS collar is instrumental in monitoring the African wild dog packs , however only has a lifespan of between 12-18 months . This has a huge cost implication for the non-profit organisation ,” continues Smith . “ Triton Gloria Investments are proud to hand over the cheque for R100 000 to the EWT team in addition to the sponsorship of the GPS collar for the newly named Q20 African wild dog pack , which is synonymous with our commitment to the future conservation of our heritage ,” concludes Smith .
