Conservation
Protecting and encouraging biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem
Safeguarding the future
Conservation best practices at Sable Ranch encompass a range of strategies aimed at protecting biodiversity and natural ecosystems while promoting sustainable development. These practices emphasize the importance of habitat preservation, restoration, and sustainable resource management.
We work alongside government agencies to combat wildlife trafficking and poaching, employing innovative technologies like drones and GPS tracking to monitor and protect vulnerable species like sable antelope and Verreaux eagles. Furthermore, ecotourism plays a vital role, generating revenue that supports our conservation efforts while raising awareness about the importance of preserving South Africa's unique ecosystems for future generations.
Protecting Wildlife with Canine Heroes
At Sable Ranch, we are dedicated to the conservation of wildlife, including the protection of our majestic sable antelope and other endangered species from poaching. One of the key weapons in our arsenal against this illegal activity is our team of highly trained anti-poaching dogs.
They play a crucial role in our efforts to safeguard the animals on our reserve. With their exceptional sense of smell and agility, they are able to track and apprehend poachers before they can inflict harm. Working alongside our expert rangers, these dogs provide an additional layer of security, helping to deter illegal activities and ensure the safety of our precious wildlife.
Through the use of anti-poaching dogs, we are not only protecting the animals that call Sable Ranch home but also contributing to the broader conservation efforts in South Africa. Together with our four-legged allies, we strive to create a safe and secure environment where wildlife can thrive for generations to come.
Most of the wildlife we protect is not cute and fluffy.
