First results from GPS tracking of mountain zebra and oryx
A new report presenting results of the first 7 months of data from GPS tracking of 9 Hartmann’s mountain zebra and 9 oryx in the Greater Sossusvlei-Namib Landscape has been uploaded. The principal aim of fitting the GPS trackers has been to document the distributions and movements of zebra and oryx, and to understand how their ranges and movements relate to land uses, rainfall, vegetation, fences and other barriers. The report provides valuable new insights into these aspects though the analyses done so far and the results presented here are of a preliminary nature and much more work is required, both of an analytical nature and to assemble data on the presence of fences, rainfall, vegetation types and condition, and land uses.
