Rewilding Loskop: Restoring a Reserve and a Badger’s Return to Freedom
Loskop Dam Nature Reserve, a sparkling jewel set in the heart of South Africa, is soon to see a monumental transformation. Over the next decade, we envision expanding the area of the reserve from its current 23,000 hectares to 100,000 hectares. Against the backdrop of the imminent rewilding of Loskop, there’s a unique narrative taking shape – the tale of Tembe, an African Honey Badger.
