1 Annual Natural Resource Report
Wildlife Trends Game counts Data from the annual North-West game count. The Y-axis represents the number of animals seen per 100km driven. Wildlife Populations Species Animals seen Minimum estimate Likely estimate Baboon 68 Elephant 15 Gemsbok 295 1290 2360 Giraffe 11 20 50 Hyaena 1 Jackal Klipspringer 3 Kudu 57 250 610 Ostrich 63 310 570 Black rhinoceros 4 Springbok 595 1940 4720 Steenbok 8 40 440 Mountain zebra 221 1070 1710 Photo: V.

Green bars indicate positive management performance. Effort: Number of Community Game Guards: 5 Damage Rainfall (mm) Environmental monitoring The species chart indicates the most troublesome to least troublesome conflict species in the conservancy. The Y-axis in HWC and poaching charts represents number of incidents. Years with no bars indicate gaps in data collection Torra
