The Lajuma Research Centre maintains a long-term camera trap grid that provides a valuable platform for studying predator diversity, ecology, and behaviour in the Soutpansberg Mountains. The reserve is home to several carnivore species, including serval, caracal, brown hyena, leopard, honey badger, two genet species, and multiple mongoose species. Research contributes to understanding predator population dynamics, habitat use, and ecological roles within this biodiverse ecosystem. Internship Focus: Interns support the ongoing predator monitoring programme through fieldwork and data analysis. This internship offers experience in camera trap research, species identification, behavioural interpretation, and ecological data management.  Activities may include: Monitoring, maintaining, and organising the reserve’s camera trap grid Recording predator tracks, signs, and incidental sightings Analysing photographic data to assess movement patterns,...
