Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park needs Your help!
The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park - a spectacular desert landscape dominated by red dunes and scrublands that support herds of gemsbok, springbok, eland, blue wildebeest, huge black-mane lions, leopards and raptors - needs your help to purchase new water pumps, solar panels and tanks, as well as CyberTracker equipment for the rangers.
Help Purchase Water Pumps, Solar Panels and Tanks
Water in the Kgalagadi is a scarce resource, but essential to sustain plant and animal life dispersed throughout its 3,6 million hectares. With a dire shortage of equipment, the park is struggling to ensure that adequate water is supplied to the waterholes that provide a lifeline to much of the parks wildlife. Many of the Kgalagadi waterholes are in need of major maintenance, or new equipment all together. Donations are needed for the purchase of solar powered pumps, solar panels and plastic tanks.
"More pumps will mean that standby pumps can be installed in boreholes while other pumps are being repaired, the solar panels will provide optimum power to the pumps so that optimum water delivery is achieved and more tanks will make sure that reserve water is made available until a pump can either be repaired or be replaced by a standby pump", explains Twee Rivieren section ranger, Nardus du Plessis.
You can help by making a donation towards new equipment for the Kgalagadi waterholes via the SANParks website. Donors should select "Any Project" and then send an e-mail confirming the amount donated, and specify that it is for the Kgalagadi Waterholes, to E-Commerce Manager Nedret Saidova. These e-mails will be kept confidential and are for administrative purposes only.
Help Purchase CyberTracker Equipment
In order for Kalahari's Field Rangers to assist the Section ranger in effective management of the Nossob Section in terms of accurate data collection, it is imperative that a suitable data collection medium be found. This medium should be able to record data accurately and should be readily available to field staff. The storage medium must also then be able to be interpreted in a useful manner. The ‘CyberTracker’ system has been identified as the most effective data collection tool for this purpose and the Nossob section therefore requires three such units.
