Our National Parks are not only havens for our plants and animals, it is also a hive of conservation activities.
...
The parks offer an invaluable source for scientific studies of our national environment. Many dedicated scientist study all kinds of nature related topics. Some include the study of animal diseases, the influence of fire, rainfall and climatic conditions, the role and distribution of plant communities, geology and animal population dynamics.
There are also teams involved in the management of sick and injured animals, and the translocation of animals to help strengthen and protect animal genetics and restore the natural occurrence of animal populations in areas where populations of specific species had been eradicated or weakened.
Often these dedicated people work with limited budgets, and have to battle to get important work done.
The support of these activities is a priority focus area for the SANParks Honorary Rangers. Many projects have been launched to assist in these activities.
