Tomorrow, 4 May, the #CederbergProject starts with the lengthy camera deployment period of their long-awaited camera trap survey.

With their new batch of cameras all tested, settings adjusted, security boxes ready - the team is geared up to hike to remote locations, clocking long, hot hours in the rugged Cederberg terrain. By end of May they aim to have all 130 cameras deployed at the 65 paired stations in a 1625 square km area of mainly fynbos habitat in the Cederberg Wilderness Area and adjacent private property.

As soon as all the cameras are out - the official data collection period will start. We wish the team all of the very best during this intensive field-work period!!

Camera survey made possible through grants received from Rolf-Stephan Nussbaum Foundation and ABAX Investments.
