This is great news as our breeding program is well underway. It's great to be a part of bringing a species back, even in a small way! At KRS we just LOVE Zebra!

Good news for Cape mountain zebra, and for conservation through sustainable use.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service has issued a positive enhancement finding for Cape mountain zebra hunted in South Africa. It has already started reviewing import permit applications from US hunters.

This is a real conservation success story. By the 1950s, fewer than 50 Cape mountain zebra were left. Today there are roughly 5,700, and almost 2,500 of them live on 96 privately owned properties. Private landowners gave the subspecies its last refuge, and they are still central to its recovery.

The finding recognises what South African conservationists have long known. Well-regulated hunting on private land gives landowners a reason to keep, protect and invest in genetically pure herds.

The finding focuses on the biggest risks the subspecies faces today: low genetic diversity and hybridisation. Landowners who test their herds, keep them pure and improve genetic diversity by moving animals between properties will be the ones who benefit.

Through the PHASA Foundation Enhancement Fund, at least 10% of the daily rate and trophy fee from qualifying hunts goes directly into projects for the species, such as monitoring, genetic management, habitat protection and anti-poaching work.

This follows the success of the bontebok, and it shows again that sustainable use and conservation go hand in hand.

PHASA members can find the full details in our latest newsletter.
