“The objective of the Project is to undertake a camera trap assessment of mammal species less than one kilogram on private land linking up to Goudveld and the Diepwalle sections of the Garden Route National Park with the Knysna estuary” says Maretha Alant, Environmental Planner for the GRNP. She adds that “cameras are placed on game trails or footpaths at a height of approximately 50cm.”
Alant says Private land around the Park serves as a corridor for animals to move in and out of the Park. This information will be used to make planning decisions, for environmental assessments (EIAs) and others.
