SPAR supported the boots on the ground by recognising the contribution made by these field staff to the securing of our natural heritage and their continued fight against poaching of all. These staff are the thin green line protecting our parks, they do not often receive recognition for their work but are often criticised when things go wrong.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: inherit;">
The Hluhluwe Conservation Manager and Section Rangers responded by thanking SPAR and the Hilltop Hluhluwe Honorary Officer Group who work with SPAR, highlighting that the generous Spar vouchers which, go a long way in uplifting the moral and commitment, especially of the law enforcement personnel who carry on with this onerous task at hand, highlighting that these Spar vouchers also improve the families moral.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For the 4<sup>th</sup> year SPAR supported the boots on the ground buy recognising the contribution made by these field staff to the securing of our natural heritage and their continued fight against poaching of all. These staff are the thin green line protecting our parks, they do not often receive recognition for their work but are often criticised when things go wrong.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Hluhluwe Conservation Manager and Section Rangers responded by thanking SPAR and the Hluhluwe Hilltop Honorary Officer Group who work with SPAR, highlighting that the generous hampers go a long way in uplifting the moral and commitment, especially of the law enforcement personnel who carry on with this onerous task at hand, highlighting that these hampers also improve the families moral with all the goodies that they take home in these tough economic times.<o:p></o:p></div>

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, in partnership with a number of donors, introduced tracking dogs into the Park in December 2015. Working Dogs are widely recognised as both a strong deterrent to rhino poaching but also a remarkable reactive tool for tracking poachers down.<br />
The project was made possible through generous donations from WESSA Lowveld Region, the International Anti-Poaching Foundation and Duna Adventures, who donated funds towards the acquisition of the Tracking Dogs and the training of the Handlers. Hills Dog Food have committed to sponsoring the Dogs food for the rest of their working lives while Bayer Animal Health have pledged to assist with basic veterinary maintenance needs for 2016. ROGS, the canine equipment specialists, have sponsored leads, harnesses and collars.<br />
The Handlers completed an intensive 3 week training course with their allocated Dogs onsite in iMfolozi Game Reserve. They will continue to receive training throughout the up and coming year, completing a total of 6 weeks of training.<br />
The dogs are deployed in strategic positions within the Park, to be used for both proactive and reactive anti-poaching operations. The donated dogs, a German Shepard, named Gazelle, and a Bloodhound, named Gunner, have been trained to track humans exclusively as their main skill. Gazelle is also trained to assist in the actual apprehension of suspects while Gunner is a ferocious tracker who can track a suspect up to 24 hours after he or she has passed through an area. Completing the team is Levi, a German Short-Haired Pointer, who is owned by one of the Canine Unit Handlers.<br />

Patrick Sibeko, iMfolozi Game Reserve Conservation Manager, was very happy to see the Dogs arrival in HiP, “I am personally very excited about the prospects of having this new tool available to us. Field Rangers need all the support they can get and what is better than having man’s best friend at your-side?”</div>
Jabulani Ngubane, HiP Park Manager, was honest in his assessment of the Dogs and their role in rhino poaching, “There is no silver bullet for rhino poaching but working dogs have become synonymous with rhino security, and have been very successful in many conservation areas throughout Africa. Poaching incursions differ from case to case, and you require different tools in different situations. Dogs are now another tool in our toolbox“.<br />
He continued, “I am extremely grateful to all our donors who have made this project possible. These partners understand the difficulties we face in the field and we truly appreciate their willingness to assist us in combating rhino poaching” <br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Late year Hluhluwe Hilltop
Honorary Officers took to the challenge to help create five small remote gyms.
The Section Rangers were looking for Gym equipment to build small gyms in the
remote Field Ranger Camps where the teams can use the time between patrols to
do exercises and build up their physical strength to assist them in conducting
their physical tasks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Our </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">main aim was
and is to provide weight training access
as their patrols during the day keep their aerobic fitness up, weights will improve leg strength for hills;
chasing poachers etc. and a stronger upper body will help in long extended
patrols where they carry heavy backpacks (40kg).We have this year equipping another
6 camps with gym equipment to help the H.I.P field rangers keep fit in there
down time to help fight the </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">war
against poaching and to show that people do care and appreciated their efforts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader" style="line-height: normal; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">

cared for by the team in the Hluhluwe -imfolozi
Park, the cost of fighting the rhino poaching crisis is so extremely
high that any funding is spread thinly between. So a simple gesture like
providing staple food means that
vigorous monies can be spent in other vital areas. The more help we
can rally up, the better.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<![endif]--><b><span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">South Africa currently has
a serious problem with regards to road-related fatalities, and this epidemic is
relevant to wildlife too. Insurance claims suggest that approximately R82.5
million is paid each year against collisions with wild animals, though the
costs to wildlife of these collisions are never calculated. So what are the
consequences for animals? The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) is tackling this
question and working to find solutions to the problems associated with wildlife
and transport infrastructure.<br />

<![endif]--><b><span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Perhaps the most obvious
concern is the direct and negative consequences of vehicle-wildlife collisions,
more commonly known as ‘roadkill’. Reports via social media platforms from
members of the public show a high level of public disquiet and emotional
concern about the rate of road deaths in parks, including issues related to
speeding and careless driving, and the conservation impacts and wildlife
welfare risks such driving poses. To take a closer look into the problem the
EWT launched a new project in 2014 aimed specifically at wildlife and road
issues in nature reserves and parks.<br />
<br />
In 2014, Pilanesberg National Park was the first reserve to support the
initiative, where many wildlife species including leopard and zebra have been
killed on the roads. Following this, research continued in Addo Elephant
National Park in 2015. The research team set out to monitor driver behaviour
through placing a fake snake on the road, and recording how many times it was
‘hit’ and the speed at which the vehicle was travelling. We found that
approximately 50% of drivers hit the fake snake. “From our survey, it seems
that observation levels of the driver, rather than the speed of the vehicle, is
the key factor in causing roadkill,” explains Wendy Collinson, the Project
Executant of the EWT’s Wildlife and Roads Project.<br />
<br />
Armed with a better understanding of the reasons why roadkill may be happening
in national parks, the research team have returned to Pilanesberg National Park
to undertake follow-up work. “A driver awareness campaign is to be launched in
parks to make drivers more aware of animals on the roads themselves,” Collinson
commented. “We plan to test a number of awareness-measures with visitors to the
park and to assess which method works best. This will guide us on future
decisions in other parks that will improve the quality of the experience of
park visitors and safeguard the animals in these protected areas,” she
concluded.<br />
<br />
The EWT is also excited to announce that the project has expanded to Hluhluwe
iMfolozi Park through a joint collaboration with the University of
KwaZulu-Natal and Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, as well as Table Mountain National
Park, where preliminary roadkill surveys have begun. “We are also eagerly
awaiting the start of some surveys to begin in Kruger National Park, with
support from the University of Mpumalanga and SANParks,” stated Collinson.
“There is an urgent need to better quantify and understand the impacts of roads
on wildlife in protected areas and to develop and test methods to manage these.
Ultimately, through understanding the causes of roadkill, this project will
guide further research, specifically for recommended roadkill-reduction
measures in other protected areas in South Africa.”<br />
<br />
The project is novel, unique and innovative in its design since it also uses
volunteers or citizen scientists to assist with data collection. Citizen
scientists are becoming more recognised by wildlife researchers as a support to
expert data collection. To galvanise public participation to this process, the
EWT has taken to the internet to get people to report wildlife
fatalities. The EWT has a Smartphone app, <i><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif";">Road Watch</span></i>, which allows data to be
quickly and accurately captured, assisting people to easily submit their
information. Other social media platforms include <a href="http://ewt.us13.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=5bad3884f5aa27d68b21df29a&id=d291ab0485&e=0a7888b81b"><span style="color: #2baadf;">Facebook</span></a> and <a href="http://ewt.us13.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=5bad3884f5aa27d68b21df29a&id=1c33ad0901&e=0a7888b81b"><span style="color: #2baadf;">LinkedIn</span></a>.<br />

The EWT's Wildlife and Roads Project in Protected Areas is supported by
Bridgestone SA, Copenhagen Zoo and Mikros Traffic Monitoring. Collaborations
include: Mpumalanga University, University of KZN, North West Parks and Tourism
Board, South African National Parks and Africa:Live.<br />

<br />
The Section Rangers were looking for Gym equipment to build small gyms in the remote Field Ranger Camps where the teams can use the time between patrols to do exercises and build up their physical strength to assist them in conducting their physical tasks.<br />
The Hluhluwe Hilltop Honorary Officers took to the challenge to help create these small remote gyms.

management of elephant populations in the park as well as enhance a broader
understanding of how best to manage elephant populations in closed systems.<br />
<br />
The elephant population in the park is fast approaching its maximum capacity,
and this is causing problems in the closed environment.<br />
<br />
Elephants are known as a keystone species because they have a disproportionate
ability to alter their habitat and to dramatically affect other species in the
ecosystems in which they live.<br />
<br />
They therefore require extensive ranges to maintain healthy populations and, as
ecological engineers, "they can be either a threat or an asset to
biodiversity in a closed system," WESSA says.<br />
<br />
Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park is a medium-sized reserve of 96 000ha with a growing
elephant population, which is fast approaching the reserve’s ecological
carrying capacity of around 1 000 individuals. <br />
<br />
While this is wonderful news for the elephant population as a whole, the
elephant are becoming too many for the park's ecosystem to handle. Therefore,
the park's management have been implementing a contraception programme where
adult cows are darted from a helicopter with a contraceptive as part of an
Elephant Management Plan to control numbers. <br />
<br />
If this method proves effective it will provide an attractive alternative to
culling or trans-location. <br />
<br />

needed</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;"><br />
<br />
A key aim of Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park's Elephant Management Plan, drawn up by
Park Ecologist Dave Druce and others, is to “Maintain the elephant population
in a state that does not jeopardise the conservation of biodiversity elements,
priority biological assets or the maintenance of ecological processes within
the Park”.<br />
<br />
In support of the contraception programme, accurate on-the-ground tracking and
data collection is essential to inform elephant conservation and broader
management strategies in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, WESSA says.<br />
<br />
Although 18 of the park’s adult cow elephants are fitted with tracking collars,
it has been more than two years since the last field monitor was employed and
data was collected. <br />
<br />
Chris Galliers from WESSA’s Biodiversity Programme has now facilitated a
resumption of the monitoring work to redress the data gap and ensure close
observation of the contraceptive programme. <br />
<br />
This builds on WESSA’s 2014 funding support for a full aerial count of the
Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park elephant and rhino populations.<br />
<br />
Some recently accessed funding has now allowed WESSA to appoint Timothy Kuiper
as an elephant research monitor in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park. <br />
<br />
Kuiper is working under Druce where his monitoring activities include building
up the individual elephant photograph database and field ID kits; collecting
data on herd demographics and family structure; monitoring elephant movements
from GPS collar data; and assisting on the ground with contraception
operations. <br />
<br />
The current project duration is for five months, but it is hoped that this work
can be continued if additional funding is secured. The project is also
collaborating with Michelle Henley from Elephants Alive - a long term WESSA partner
and member of the Elephant Specialist Advisory Group - to draw on her expertise
as well as to ensure that there is shared learning with her work on elephant
populations in the Lowveld.<br />
<br />
WESSA has been involved in elephant conservation issues for most of its 90-year
existence. <br />
<br />
Elephants and their conservation were central to WESSAs successful campaigning
for the establishment of the Kruger National Park in 1926, the Addo Elephant
National Park in 1931 and the later expansion of Addo in 2002. <br />
<br />
This latest project supports the overall aim of WESSA’s Biodiversity Programme,
which is to promote harmonious and integrated management between people and
nature in conservation work.<br />
<br />
The vast amounts of elephant in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, despite the
overall dire stance of elephants elsewhere, is but a small example of the
highly complicated system of managing wild animals in closed
environments.<br />
<br />
</span><a href="http://traveller24.news24.com/Explore/Green/endangered-wildlife-the-elephants-97-decline-in-less-than-a-century-20160208"><span style="color: #002576; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Conservation journalist Scott Ramsay for Traveller24 recently wrote how
elephants higher up in Africa have declined with 97% in less than a century</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">.<br />
<br />
"Accurate estimates suggest that there were 12 million elephants in the
early 1900s," Ramsay found. And today there are only 350 000, which
includes both savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) and forest elephants
(Loxodonta cyclotis).<br />
<br />
WESSA, however, says it is excited and optimistic that this venture will
add value to the work that Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife is doing to protect these
magnificent creatures, that it will improve our understanding around the
management of closed elephant populations in South Africa and enhance
decision-making by reserve managers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

RESERVE, South Africa (AP) — During the rescue of a South African rhino calf
whose mother was killed by poachers, six heavily perspiring men squeezed the
sedated orphan into a helicopter whose seats and doors had been removed to make
more space, according to a witness account. The rhino's behind stuck out of the
aircraft a bit, but the improvised airlift in February was a success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Press team saw the jittery calf trotting around a holding pen at
Hluhluwe-iMfolozi, a wildlife area whose tradition as a rhino refuge contrasts
with an otherwise grim picture in which rhinos have been slaughtered in
increasing numbers to meet demand for their horns in parts of Asia, especially
Vietnam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

collided noisily with an enclosure door at one point, could spend a couple of
years under human care until it is resilient enough to return to the wild. It
is the guest of conservationists whose predecessors, many decades ago, chased
darted rhinos through thorny bush on horseback, or noosed them while speeding
alongside the galloping beasts in open trucks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi, the last redoubt of southern white rhinos a century ago and
then a gene pool for distribution of surplus rhinos elsewhere in Africa and in
Western zoos and parks, is a source of hope among groups struggling for a
formula to curb poaching. In the late 19th century, there were estimated to be
fewer than 100 of that type of rhino because of uncontrolled hunting, posing a
crisis comparable in some ways to today's challenge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /> What a treat the HIP Field Staff and APU of Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park got on the weekend of the 28 Nov 2015. The Hilltop Hluhluwe Honorary Officers Christmas hamper project was a great success this year again thanks to SPAR for sponsoring great hampers filled with staple foods and luxury items and the support from Imfolozi Honorary Officers. The hampers were distributed to both the Hluhluwe and Imfolozi Field Staff and APU Rangers, our front line defences to say a thank you for their dedication and hard work that is often unseen. <br /> The hampers were well received with smiles all around. We would like to say thank you to SPAR for the great hamper and their time and effort that was put into making this project a great success. Wow what a hamper it was SPAR really out did themselves this year.<br />
