Today I head to Lajuma Research Center to begin my research...

My sightseeing has come to an end! It is July 17 and I will be heading into the Soutspansberg Mountains to a permanent camp. I will also be meeting fellow researchers today and some professors from universities. So exciting! The focus of my research is on the conservation of larger predators and some primates.
But, since we know that everything is connected (food web!), I will also be collecting and analyzing data on vegetation and small prey species.
How will I do this? I will be using scouting cameras, radio-telemetry,  and analyzing scat (poop!).
Time to go...need time for breakfast and I need to catch a plane to Polokwone!
