Human-wildlife conflict discussed at Western Cape legislature briefing
Share
Cape Town - The legislature has questioned the norms and standards of the Biodiversity Act with regards to human-wildlife conflict which may result when wildlife damage crops and threaten, injure or kill people and domestic animals.
The issue came up when environmental affairs standing committee chairperson Andricus van der Westhuizen (DA) asked CapeNature about their policy regarding problem animals.
“Sometimes we get problem animals that need to be dealt with. But nowadays with the outcry against culling, problem animals are often moved to other locations.
“I know some farmers have in the past complained about problem animals and this might in the future include leopards. Is this something covered by the norms and standards for the management and monitoring of the hunting of leopards?” he asked.
