The growth

of the wildlife industry in South Africa can be measured by the growth in the number of wildlife ranches. In 1965 there were only four wildlife-fenced properties in the former north-western Transvaal. By 2005, 40 years later, there were more than 10 000 properties with wildlife exemption permits in the nine provinces combined. As the wildlife industry continues to expand, so does the need for knowledge upon which it must be based.

 

Game ranch management 5 is a comprehensive guide to establishing and maintaining a healthy and profitable wildlife enterprise. It is updated to include the vast volume of new information available, to the benefit of those who work in wildlife conservation as well as those who are merely interested in it.

 

Some of the new and expanded topics include the following:

• Marketing of a wildlife ranch

• Habitat rehabilitation and water quality

• Wildlife capture, buying and selling of wildlife, and meat production

• Keeping and managing ostriches

• Field medicine

• Genetic management and post-mortem examinations

• Legislation

• Environmental impact assessments

• Use of geographic information systems (GIS) in wildlife ranching

 

Game ranch management is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students doing degrees or modules in wildlife management and ranching at training institutions across southern Africa. It is also a guide for current and future owners of extensive wildlife production units.
