Objectives: Discover which type of hyena there are in Kariega Game Reserve; Discover if there is more than one; Discover den locations; Discover feed habits; Discover if the population is healthy.
Equipment: Camera trap; Chum ( sardines, blood and water); Sardines; If possible bait ( dead meat); Sprayer; Empty bottles; Latex gloves.
Method: Find tracks or other signs of hyena activity; Put camera traps in those places; Place chum and bait in that area; Face the camera trap to the chum and/or bait; Every 2 days replace the chum; • Note: • Rangers to be made aware of project and encouraged to report any sings of Hyena activity. • Rangers participation is vital for the success of this project.
Previous Experience I’ve been volunteering in the last 3 months in Shamwari Game Reserve where I’ve worked o the Brown Hyena Project. I think I collected the skills required to manage this project.
