Addo Elephant National Park (South Africa) opens fence

Post by come-along.nl » Sat Aug 21, 2010 8:22 pm

History was made today when the boundary fence between two sections of Addo Elephant National Park was taken down, providing new habitat for many of the Park’s wildlife species.

SANParks’ Managing Executive: Parks, Paul Daphne and Park Manager, Norman Johnson, officially cut the fence line before rangers, volunteers and workers continued to remove the four-kilometre stretch of fence line separating the Main Game Area from the Colchester Area of the Park.

The dropping of the fence will effectively merge the two areas of the Park to form a 24 000-hectare area, stretching from the Addo Main Camp down to the Park’s Camp Matyholweni rest camp near Colchester on the Algoa Bay coastline. Elephants, lion, hyena and other species will be able to move gradually across to the Colchester area of the Park. Buffalo, zebra and antelope species have already been introduced to the area.
