WILD LIFE PROTECTION FUND 



For the future, more determined efforts and greater 

 sacrifices, both by individuals and the state, are necessary 

 to carry into effect the measures that alone will insure 

 the remnants of game from total disappearance. A great 

 deal of the annual shooting now in progress must be 

 stopped. New preserves and new breeding herds of game 

 must be established. In a word, the government of the 

 Union of South Africa, and private organizations and 

 individuals without number, must unite in stronger meas- 

 ures for wild life preservation. 



THE SPECIES MOST IN DANGER. 



Judged by all available evidence, the following are the 

 species most in need of increase: 



The White Rhinoceros Increase from 26 up to 200 



Bontebok Increase from 200 up to 5,000 



Mountain Zebra Increase from 400 up to 1,000 



Roan Antelope Increase from 1,000 up to 5,000 



Nyala, or Angas Antelope.— Increase from 1,000 up to 5,000 



Black Rhinoceros Increase up to 1,000 



Eland Increase up to 2,500 



Vaal Rhebok Increase up to 5,000 



Grysbok Increase up to 5,000 



Southern Oribi Increase up to 5,000 



Sable Antelope 

 Kudu 



AN HONOR ROLL OF WILD ANIMAL PROTECTORS 



As soon as practicable, there should be prepared and 

 published an honor roll containing the names of South 

 Africans who have done most for the preservation of the 

 important wild life of Africa south of the territory form- 

 erly owned by Germany. It is desirable that the world 

 at large should know the names of the men who already 

 deserve the thanks of the public for the preservation of 

 the mountain zebra, bontebok, nyala, rhinoceros, kudu, 

 eland and sable antelope.
