Elephant Monitoring

Within the two areas the Trust has six radio and satellite collared elephants which it is responsible for monitoring on behalf of the Peace Parks Foundation. This is a study to set up to discover how extensively wildlife corridors between conservation areas are used by various species. This would add weight to the argument on the requirement of T.F.C.A.'s ( Trans Frontier Conservation Areas ) throughout Southern Africa to progress conservation effort. The Trust makes quarterly reports to Peace Parks with all the information on sightings in that quarter and any sightings by guides, staff and clients alike are requested to be reported to the Trust using a report form.

The Trust is pleased to announce the arrival of at least 3 baby elephants on the Nyika in the past few months. It is believed that the elephants on the Nyika arrived here due to the pressure of poaching elsewhere. It is fantastic to see that they are now comfortable enough to begin breeding.
