Living with WildlifeRhino RangersResearch Kwando Carnivore Project

2 infra red camera traps and 2 protec-tion box ( 12 000 N$)

2 camera traps sponsored by TOSCO have been delivered to the Kwando car-nivore project base camp in the Zambezi region

TOSCO provided the camera traps only 2 weeks after they had been requested by Lise Hanssen the project manager

The camera traps will be used to monitor spotted hyenas and wild dogs dens and carcasses It is an ongoing monitoring of survival The infrared allow to take pictures at den without flashilights disturbing the den

More than 100 wild dogs in Bwabwata national park sometimes overlapping in 3 countries Namibia Botswana Angola

First cause of mortality in the area is road accidents on the tarred roadIn Kavango the Human wildlife conflict is increasing but decreasing in Zambezi region

In 2016 a big spoor survey will take place

3 infra red camera traps and 2 bear box protection (to avoid being destroyed and chewed by hyenas) = value 12 000NAD

Rhino Rangers field equipment (20 000 N$)

On behalf of the Rhino Ranger Support Group I wanted to thank TOSCO once

again for offering to fund our work to support the Conservancy Rhino

Ranger programme

After discussions with Boas our field coordinator we decided that TOSCOrsquos

N$20000 wicked best be spent to outfit one of our key patrolling

vehicles with Engel 60l fridge and mountingbattery power inverter

compressor pump water tank

bull Our field vehicle led by Usiel Nuab from Sesfontein had an extremely productive 2015 covering 3 key rhino areas both within Palmwag and Etendeka Tourism Concession and outside on Conservancy Lands and 20 of the regionrsquos rhino

bull In total 89 field days produced 101 rhino sightings including an average sighting success ( of known rhino located within a given area during a patrol) of 85 per patrol The individual rhino identification accuracy on average is also commendable at 73 per patrol

bull Patrols also included 7 different Conservancy Rhino Rangers across 4 Conservancies which accumulated 363 total ranger field days and 374 total ranger rhino sightings

I believe these are well deserved upgrades to Usielrsquos team and would hopefully help keep morale high when we need it most

ThreatsPoaching human population growth impact of war and civil

unrest diseases habitat loss habitat fragmentation and

habitat degradation combined impact giraffe distribution

across the African continent

Many threats arise from conflict and competition (direct indirect

or perceived) for resources with humans and their domestic stock

Habitat degradation and destruction is caused by the increase

of agriculture pastoralism uncontrolled timber and fuel wood

harvesting Damages to crops are another cause of human-wildlife

conflict and potential disease transmission can result from close

contact with domestic livestock Giraffe outside of protected areas are

even known to have been hit by vehicles

Habitat fragmentation caused by human population expansion

and encroachment isolates giraffe populations from gene flow

and exchange of genetic diversity This has restrictive implications

on the evolutionary potential of the species Isolated populations

and populations having undergone bottlenecks are in danger of

progressive mating of relatives that will eventually result in increased

levels of inbreeding

Conservation Significance

Giraffe are agents of habitat and landscape change They open up areas and promote growth of new forage for

themselves and other wildlife

Moderate giraffe browsing has been shown to stimulate shoot production in certain Acacia species Giraffe browsing can

furthermore benefit Acacia species as seed consumption favours seed dispersal into non-shaded habitats and enhances

the potential for seed germination through the beneficial effects of its digestive processes

Giraffe are also thought to play a role in pollination Research in Kenya highlighted that in areas protected from giraffe

and other mega-herbivores some Acacia species declined and the knock on effect to other species was considerable

There is a mutually beneficial relationship between giraffe and oxpecker birds or obligates in the absence of oxpeckers

Giraffe are host to various parasitic ticks and the benefit from oxpeckers and other birds removing ticks is considerable

Economic SignificanceThe giraffersquos primary economic benefit is its evolutionary uniqueness Images of giraffe are used daily around the world

Their unmistakable silhouettes and evocative images are regularly used in advertising to sell anything from tea bags to

wine from whisky to mobile phones and even the FIFA World Cup

However it is the tourist dollar which interests lsquostakeholderslsquo most There is barely a safari brochure or travel operator in

the world that does not use a giraffe to sell Africa as an exciting holiday destination In essence giraffe market Africa

In comparison to other large herbivores like elephant and buffalo and highly lucrative predators giraffe cannot compete

as a significant source of revenue in the trophy hunting market

Limiting FactorsScientificA lack of long-term research including ecology physiology

and taxonomy and reliable historical and current data

remain the most limiting factors in understanding giraffe

More essential baseline knowledge is required across the

board As an example there has never been a long-term

ecological research project on giraffe

Excitingly advances in all the above scientific fields are

slowly increasing whilst ongoing genetic research on giraffe

populations across the continent is providing invaluable

baseline for their future conservation and management and

promises to unravel their taxonomic mystery

EcologicalGiraffe populations are regulated in part by natural mortality

caused by predation (varying from population to population

across the continent) Even adult male giraffe can be

predated by lions but sub adults and calves are particularly

vulnerable and can be taken by hyena leopard cheetah

crocodile and of course humans

Additionally malnutrition a result of limited dry season

food quality and quantity and diseases including anthrax

and rinderpest play a role in limiting population growth

SocialGiraffe are competing with other more charismatic

creatures The common misconception that there are

abundant giraffe around is exacerbated by their currently

outdated conservation status and profile

It is estimated that giraffe numbers are less than a fifth of

those of the African elephant which is currently classified

as lsquovulnerablersquo while giraffe is classified as lsquoleast concernrsquo

The magnitude of illegal hunting and its role in driving

change in giraffe population dynamics is an aspect that is

still poorly understood

Are wildlife numbers in the north-west declining and are conservancies driven by greed Stirred up by the discussions in the press and on social media conservan-cies reached out to the tourism industry and offered meetings to discuss these questions The game count figures indeed show a decline since 2013 The reasons for this are not entirely clear but among them are low rainfall but also manage-ment issues In the below document you will find the resolutions the conservancies have taken to address the problems they have identified Applying adaptive management 9 conservancies have stopped shoot amp sell completely This income somehow needs to be compensated In the north-west conservan-cies and tourism rely on each other more than ever

furthermore benefit Acacia species as seed consumption favours seed dispersal into non-shaded habitats and enhances

the potential for seed germination through the beneficial effects of its digestive processes

Giraffe are also thought to play a role in pollination Research in Kenya highlighted that in areas protected from giraffe

and other mega-herbivores some Acacia species declined and the knock on effect to other species was considerable

There is a mutually beneficial relationship between giraffe and oxpecker birds or obligates in the absence of oxpeckers

Giraffe are host to various parasitic ticks and the benefit from oxpeckers and other birds removing ticks is considerable

Economic SignificanceThe giraffersquos primary economic benefit is its evolutionary uniqueness Images of giraffe are used daily around the world

Their unmistakable silhouettes and evocative images are regularly used in advertising to sell anything from tea bags to

wine from whisky to mobile phones and even the FIFA World Cup

However it is the tourist dollar which interests lsquostakeholderslsquo most There is barely a safari brochure or travel operator in

the world that does not use a giraffe to sell Africa as an exciting holiday destination In essence giraffe market Africa

In comparison to other large herbivores like elephant and buffalo and highly lucrative predators giraffe cannot compete

as a significant source of revenue in the trophy hunting market

Limiting FactorsScientificA lack of long-term research including ecology physiology

and taxonomy and reliable historical and current data

remain the most limiting factors in understanding giraffe

More essential baseline knowledge is required across the

board As an example there has never been a long-term

ecological research project on giraffe

Excitingly advances in all the above scientific fields are

slowly increasing whilst ongoing genetic research on giraffe

populations across the continent is providing invaluable

baseline for their future conservation and management and

promises to unravel their taxonomic mystery

EcologicalGiraffe populations are regulated in part by natural mortality

caused by predation (varying from population to population

across the continent) Even adult male giraffe can be

predated by lions but sub adults and calves are particularly

vulnerable and can be taken by hyena leopard cheetah

crocodile and of course humans

Additionally malnutrition a result of limited dry season

food quality and quantity and diseases including anthrax

and rinderpest play a role in limiting population growth

SocialGiraffe are competing with other more charismatic

creatures The common misconception that there are

abundant giraffe around is exacerbated by their currently

outdated conservation status and profile

It is estimated that giraffe numbers are less than a fifth of

those of the African elephant which is currently classified

as lsquovulnerablersquo while giraffe is classified as lsquoleast concernrsquo

The magnitude of illegal hunting and its role in driving

change in giraffe population dynamics is an aspect that is

still poorly understood

TOSCO Words of Appreciation

ldquoNever doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world- indeed itrsquos the only thing that ever hasrdquo ndash Margaret Mead

This is exactly what TOSCO is ndash a small group of thoughtful committed citizens that are changing the world A few years ago a group of tourism operators got together after a pride of lions got poisoned in the North West of Namibia They realized that those lions were very important for the biodiversity of the environ-

ment and essential for tourism in the country thus they had to contribute to their conservation from then onrdquo

Travel News Namibia

ldquoDear TOSCO Team Thanks for such a report and congratulations on your fund-raising on behalf of conservation in Namibia It is great to see your commitment and involvement to this sector and a real pleasure to be a partner with you in your efforts Keep up the great workrdquo

Chris Weaver director WWF Namibia

ldquoFor the past few years the

Kwando Carnivore Project has received support

from TOSCO trust in the form of funding and equipment

for field projects This support has contributed significantly

to our monitoring efforts particularly where sensitive activities

such as monitoring hyaena cubs at dens is required Through

our partnership with TOSCO we have also had the opportunity

of sharing information about the Zambezi Region and our

conservation efforts with some of their guests We are most

grateful for this support from the TOSCO Trustrdquo

Lise Hanssen

Kwando carnivore project

ldquoIRDNC would like to express its gratitude and apprecia-tion to TOSCO for their continued and sustained support of conservation in The Kunene Region While the actual

contributions aiding the direct conservation of our desert adapted lions rhinos and elephants helps significantly the importance of the involvement and commitment of all your members is tremendous Exposing tourists and visitors to Namibia to the challenges of conservation in our country is important Further it is great to see a group within the

hospitality industry buying into the resource they sell and use with such energy and commitmentldquo
