Prepared by the AWEI Team – Wiseman Ndlovu, Reinhard Nyandire, Savanna Strauss, Deborah Vorhies, Francis Vorhies, and Beverly Wynne
This pilot rapid area assessment report for Witsand Moodie’s farm was conducted from the 8th to 10th of March 2023. The assessment was conducted by a joint team from AWEI, the leaseholder and the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Stellenbosch... This rapid area assessment for Moodie’s unpacked the governance, ecology, and socio-economic status of Moodie’s farm and the surrounding farms and communities. The ultimate aim of the assessment was to identify potential for the development of wildlife enterprises on the property.
