Game translocations
Wildlife translocations and re-building wildlife population strategies were identified by the Mudumu North and South complexes in the Mudumu Landscape as an important strategy for increasing wildlife populations to numbers that are self-sustaining, can tolerate sustainable use and predation and are sufficient to support a quality tourism product. Some species, namely giraffe and eland were also locally extinct and without re-introductions would never have been seen in the Landscape's parks and conservancies again.
The following animals were translocated between 2005 and 2013. Without the support from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) in the form of donations of game and the various donors who funded the translocation costs, these translocations would not have been possible.
