The age and sex ratios of animals must also be recorded, as well as natural mortalities or other causes of death. A professional game count should be conducted annually to determine optimum stocking rates to be applied on Marloth Park. Recommendations for Marloth Park Fifteen survey sites (Figure 15) with initial baseline data (Appendix 5) have been established on Marloth Park. These survey sites are considered representative of the vegetation, and require annual monitoring to determine change. Although veld condition can be determined relatively easy by repeating the technique used in veld condition assessment, analyzing the woody vegetation requires professional analysis and interpretation. However, a photographic record taken at each site (Appendix 6) can be used to visually assess the woody vegetation. These photographs must again be taken each year during February, for comparative purposes. It is recommended that a professional re-evaluation again be requested after 5 years, if recommendations or guidelines have been implemented. Game counts should be conducted annually, also recording sex and age ratios. This will facilitate the determination of optimum stocking rates and maximum production. © Ecological Associates/ Marloth Park 121
