Let's implement scientific game management in Marloth Park

The Issue

We need to find a solution to Marloth Park's current crisis - animals are starving due to the fact that proper game management is not being implemented. Due to the animal's weakened states, the potential for the spread of diseases like TB increases. 

The immediate answer is to reduce the number of animals within the range that is adequate to the carrying capacity of the veld in Marloth Park.

We have a limited time to implement a solution. The quickest way to solve the problem will be to cull first the sick and weakened animals and then reduce the numbers further to within the desired ranges. We only have until the first week in September to do this as the hunting season will be over.

Dr. Cobus Raath from Wildlife Vets has proposed a solution to herd the animals into Lion Spruit and then cull them in an area far away from residential properties.

Please help us support this project before time runs out.
