Animal non-profit organisation, Wildlife ACT, has collared three African painted dogs in KwaZulu-Natal in a bid to better understand the critically endangered species.
Wildlife ACT’s specialised monitor and node manager, Pippa Orpen, said daily monitoring of priority species allowed Wildlife ACT to keep an eye on population dynamics, movements, ecological influences, disease, snaring incidents and any human-wildlife conflict issues. This information is then fed to reserve management to inform decision-making on the reserve. Depending on the species of animal, the collars can be customised with sensors to recognise different movement activity, temperature, and even mortality.
