50 baobabs saved in Limpokwena

Limpokwena is a game reserve situated between the Limpopo and Mogalakwena Rivers near Platjan boarder post.  The property has about 50 small baobab trees which are being badly damaged and killed by elephants that are coming over the border from Botswana.   A field trip and site inspection in April confirmed that the manager can mesh the trees but needs support in donating mesh.  Thanks to the support from the Phasa Foundation the Baobab Foundation supplied enough mesh to protect all the young baobabs on the property.
