CVC: Augrabies CVC Owner: Anna AugusLocation: Augrabies, Northern CapeAdditional information:Anna is working hard to keep Sarp happy and healthy. He’s had his first round of vaccinations and is sterilized which will go a long way to keeping him safe.

Dr. Debeer from Kalahari dierekliniek came to Augrabies to give vaccinations and help sick dogs. She saw a total of 21 dogs, but 18 of these were too sick to get their vaccinations because distemper (hondesiekte) is rampant in Augrabies at the moment. The Augrabies Community Veterinary Clinic and the Augrabies community would like to thank Dr. Debeer for donating her time to help as many pets as possible! We would also like to thank Samuel Thekiso for letting us set up next to his house and helping with water for dipping the dogs. Thank you!

We have so many animals in Augrabies and its rural surrounds that need assistance, especially with sterilizations. If you're interested in sponsoring a sterilization, please visit the SAVA CVC website and peruse the animals that need sponsorship in the Northern Cape:

SHR@Home Webinar Series - October 27th, 2021 : Werner Conradie: An obsession with the slimy, slithering and scary

If going on expeditions to remote places in search of bizarre frogs, rare snakes and new species of chameleons intrigues you, then please join us for our next webinar.

We will be taking a fascinating look at Africa’s rich (and little-known) diversity of frogs and reptiles.

Werner Conradie is Curator of Herpetology at the Port Elizabeth Museum (Bayworld). He has spent the past 17 years searching for frogs and reptiles, documenting new species, adding new records to biodiversity inventories, and contributing to our understanding of reptile and amphibian ecology and conservation status.

Werner will share with us his research experiences, new species discoveries, research expeditions to wild places, the researchers who have shaped his career, and the status of amphibian and reptile research in South Africa, with a particular focus on his “home turf”, the Eastern Cape.

Please join us for a fascinating talk.

If you have any questions for Werner, please send them in advance to [email protected]

The Fun Walk/Run/Ride Fur Life we hosted on 14 August was a big success when you consider it was our first event and South Africa had just come out of Lockdown4 again. Everyone had a great time, whether on foot, paw, or bicycle. Thank you so much to all of our sponsors and participants who helped us raise enough funds to either sterilize 10 animals or provide tick/flea/deworming treatments for 150 animals!

To close, Dr Nicholus Funda, General Manager of Area Integrity and former Chief Ranger in the Kruger National Park, will join us for a candle lighting ceremony to honour our rangers and pay tribute to those who have died in the line of duty.

All donations will go towards our Embrace National Project which supports ranger wellbeing. See here:- http://ow.ly/gNhG50FyGbE
