CAMEROON (FOREST) 2019 Bongo Bongo Forest hunting is exciting and the local trackers with their dogs are excellent hunters. Hunting is mainly on foot, but also from machans settled near the edge of large clearings. Bongos, Dwarf Buffaloes, Sitatungas and Forest Elephant are the most interesting species in the area, some of which make splendid trophies. The population of bongos is impressive and there is probably the highest population of dwarf buffaloes in all Africa! Our forest concession is only at 7 hours by car from Yaoundé (comfortable vehicle with A/C) which means no charter flight needed. Accommodation is provided in a very comfortable hunting camp with bungalows with en suite facilities. Hunting season: Dwarf Buffaloes: from March to end of July. Bongos and Sitatungas: from May to end of July Prices in USD: Price of the safari per person 13 hunting days 1 Hunter x 1 Guide 38,000 Observer 6,000 The price of the safari includes: - Meet and greet plus assistance at Yaoundé airport, - Transfer from Yaoundé to the hunting area and back with very comfortable cars (7 hours), - The organizing of your safari with 4x4 vehicles, professional hunters, trackers, porters, skinners, - Full board accommodation and drinks at the hunting camp, - Field preparation of trophies. 14, rue de Siam - 75116 PARIS FRANCE - Tél. : 33 (0) 1 42 88 31 32 - Fax : 33 (0) 1 45 24 31 29 Web site : www.fauna-safari-club.com - Email : [email protected] The price of the safari does not include: - Any air fare or travel costs to Yaoundé, - Package for transfers and hotel cost in Yaoundé on arrival (500 € per hunter), - Trophy fees (see below), - Community development tax (15 % on the amount of trophy fees), - Hunting permit (1 600 Euros per hunter), - The rent of a rifle with scope and ammunitions, - Dipping and packing of trophies (2 000 Euros per hunter); shipping fees outside the country not included, - Insurances costs, - Visa and rifle importation license fees, personal spending money and tips Dwarf Buffalo Sitatunga Trophy Fees in Euros: • Bongo: 3 900 • Blue Duiker: 500 • Western Sitatunga: 3 100 • Peters Duiker: 600 • Dwarf Buffalo: 2 800 • Black Fronted Duiker: 600 • Forest Elephant: 5 800 • Bay Duiker: 600 • Red River Hog: 1 500 • Giant Forest Hog: 2 000 Trophy fees can be modified without notice by the local authority.

Cephalophus Natalensis – Natal Red Duiker
Cephalophus natalensis – Natal Red Duiker listed two subspecies, including C. n. natalensis from KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), eastern Mpumalanga and southern Mozambique, and C. n. robertsi Rothschild 1906 from Mozambique and the regions north of the Limpopo River (Skinner & Chimimba 2005). Assessment Rationale This species is restricted to forest patches within northeastern South Africa and Swaziland. They can occur at densities as high as 1 individual / ha. In KZN, there are an estimated 3,046–4,210 individuals in protected areas alone, with the largest subpopulation of 1,666–2,150 Sam Williams individuals occurring in iSimangaliso Wetland Park (2012– 2014 counts; Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife unpubl. data). This Regional Red List status (2016) Near Threatened subpopulation is inferred to have remained stable or B2ab(ii,v)* increased over three generations (2000–2015), as the previous assessment (2004, using count data from 2002) National Red List status (2004) Least Concern estimated subpopulation size as 1,000 animals. While no Reasons for change Non-genuine change: other provincial subpopulation estimates are available, New information they are regularly recorded on camera traps in the Soutpansberg Mountains of Limpopo and the Mariepskop Global Red List status (2016) Least Concern forests of Mpumalanga, including on private lands outside protected areas (S. Williams unpubl. data). TOPS listing (NEMBA) None Reintroductions are probably a successful conservation CITES listing None intervention for this species. For example, reintroduced individuals from the 1980/90s are still present in areas of Endemic No southern KZN and are slowly moving into adjacent *Watch-list Data farmlands (Y. Ehlers-Smith unpubl. data). The estimated area of occupancy, using remaining (2013/14 land cover) Although standing only about 0.45 m high forest patches within the extent of occurrence, is 1,800 (Bowland 1997), the Natal Red Duiker has km2.

A Scoping Review of Viral Diseases in African Ungulates
veterinary sciences Review A Scoping Review of Viral Diseases in African Ungulates Hendrik Swanepoel 1,2, Jan Crafford 1 and Melvyn Quan 1,* 1 Vectors and Vector-Borne Diseases Research Programme, Department of Veterinary Tropical Disease, Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria, Pretoria 0110, South Africa; [email protected] (H.S.); [email protected] (J.C.) 2 Department of Biomedical Sciences, Institute of Tropical Medicine, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +27-12-529-8142 Abstract: (1) Background: Viral diseases are important as they can cause significant clinical disease in both wild and domestic animals, as well as in humans. They also make up a large proportion of emerging infectious diseases. (2) Methods: A scoping review of peer-reviewed publications was performed and based on the guidelines set out in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews. (3) Results: The final set of publications consisted of 145 publications. Thirty-two viruses were identified in the publications and 50 African ungulates were reported/diagnosed with viral infections. Eighteen countries had viruses diagnosed in wild ungulates reported in the literature. (4) Conclusions: A comprehensive review identified several areas where little information was available and recommendations were made. It is recommended that governments and research institutions offer more funding to investigate and report viral diseases of greater clinical and zoonotic significance. A further recommendation is for appropriate One Health approaches to be adopted for investigating, controlling, managing and preventing diseases. Diseases which may threaten the conservation of certain wildlife species also require focused attention.

The Biodiversity Foundation for Africa is responsible for acquiring technical information on the biodiversity of the project area. The Zambezi Society will be interpreting this information into user-friendly formats for stakeholders in the Four Corners area, and then disseminating it to these stakeholders. THE BIODIVERSITY FOUNDATION FOR AFRICA (BFA is a non-profit making Trust, formed in Bulawayo in 1992 by a group of concerned scientists and environmentalists. Individual BFA members have expertise in biological groups including plants, vegetation, mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, insects, aquatic invertebrates and ecosystems. The major objective of the BFA is to undertake biological research into the biodiversity of sub-Saharan Africa, and to make the resulting information more accessible. Towards this end it provides technical, ecological and biosystematic expertise. THE ZAMBEZI SOCIETY was established in 1982. Its goals include the conservation of biological diversity and wilderness in the Zambezi Basin through the application of sustainable, scientifically sound natural resource management strategies.

This male maneuvers with a limp on the affect leg. ***A female goat in the nursery area had a large severely bilaterally deformed udder. The licensee stated she had mastitis last year when she kidded and he treated her. The animal also had excessive hoof length on its rear hooves causing them to curve upward and crack. The veterinarian has still not examined this animal. Mastitis is a painful and uncomfortable condition and this animal has a malformed udder likely secondary to an inappropriately treated mastitis. ***An additional newborn fallow deer laying beside an adult fallow deer inside the rhino enclosure had a large round spot (approximately 1 1/2 to 2 inches round) on its head that was hairless and grey. ***A large male Watusi was observed tilting its head at an irregular angle.
