Vultures swallow lead fragments in carcasses and gut piles, damaging their nervous, immune, and reproductive systems. At the Basangoma Gongshoot 2026, Zululand Vulture Officer Tavish Farquhar and Justin Henry of @BirdLifeSA encouraged non-lead alternatives.

Dung beetles are blocking the road again, and we’re glad! 🪲
They recycle nutrients, aerate soil, reduce flies and parasites, and keep grazing areas healthy for White Rhinoceros, buffalo and zebra.

Meet the Cheetah, the world’s fastest land mammal and one of Africa’s most vulnerable big cats. Farmland, roads and settlement have replaced much of its range, and numbers are still decreasing. Help our monitors protect Cheetahs in KwaZulu-Natal: https://t.co/00oj6O0bud

Thank you, Hillcrest Primary!
Last week we joined the grade 4 to 7 learners for a Rhino presentation as part of your annual Rhino celebration.

Awareness is the first step in protecting Rhinos, and today's learners are tomorrow's decision makers, conservationists and supporters!

A day in the life of a Big Cat Field Technician 🐆

There’s more to Savannah Reichert’s role than big cats: pre-dawn fieldwork, sorting thousands of camera trap images and preparing data for long-term population analysis.

An early-morning surprise on the way into Eastern Shores: a Honey Badger in no hurry. Moments like this are a privilege, and a reminder of what is at stake in protecting wild places.

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park remains home to one of the most important Rhino populations on the continent.

@EZEMVELOKZNWild's K9 Unit works to ensure that what was saved against such odds remains protected.

With thanks to @HillsPetSA for their support.

Dung beetles have right of way.”

If you see one, stop and watch. Some species roll dung into a brood ball and bury it. The female lays her eggs there, and the dung feeds the larvae.
