May 2022 Newsletter
- Predation monitor farms, a 14-year journey through the Integrated Livestock Predation Management Programme, is projected in the annual report by Niel Viljoen.
- In an attempt to inform consumers that livestock producers approach predation in a responsible, scientific and sustainable manner, the May 2022 newsletter continues to address preventative control measures, focusing on light- and large-scale odour deterrents. The Modern Shepherd, which works on animal senses by keeping predators away from livestock through sound and smell, is part of the toolbox of predation methods.
- Producers often ask why they should apply conservation farming or conservation in general to their properties, since their primary activity is agriculture or agricultural production. In the second of a three-part article, Jaco van Deventer of Cape Nature seeks to encourage farmers to apply holistic farming management.
- Eastern Cape Predation Forum
- National Museum publication focus on predation.
