Descripción de la reseña

Botswana is a small stable country in southern Africa, with a mostly rural population, and fantastic wildlife. 

The Motse project is based at the gorgeous Limpopo-Lipadi Game Reserve, just inside the border of Botswana, about five hours from Johannesburg International Airport. Volunteers at Motse work to rehabilitate the reserve which was cattle farms a few years ago,  to a more natural state and help monitor the diverse wildlife. Volunteers help remove invasive cactus and other species, and to regenerate native grasses and trees. Regular visits to the two local villages, Moletemane and Tsetsebjwe help resolve conflict with wildlife and bring education and value to the local communities. One of the most unique and beautiful wilderness locations in the world, Limpopo-Lipadi game reserve is singly accessible and remote at the same time. Botswana has a strong conservation imperative, and is working to improve the livelihood of the peoples who live alongside the wildlife. Volunteers learn how to track and record nature, identify predators and search for animals using their radio collars. With concurrent research on lions, elephants, leopards and vegetation. your monitoring efforts are helping real science get done.
