About Snapshot Tswalu
Hundreds of camera traps spread across southern Africa are providing a powerful new window into the dynamics of Africa's most elusive wildlife species. We need your help to classify all the different animals caught in millions of camera trap images. These camera images come from Tswalu Private Game Reserve. At over 100,000 hectares in size, it’s the largest privately-owned game reserve in South Africa. Located in the eastern Kalahari bushveld of the Northern Cape province of South Africa, a region often termed the green Kalahari, it incorporates both the rolling sand dunes typical of the Kalahari region as well as (rather uniquely) the Korannaberg mountains. In 2014 Tswalu was recognised as a formally protected area, a significant stride towards restoring this region to what it once was. Tswalu aims to make significant contributions towards research, science and conservation through ecotourism and the Tswalu Foundation. Conserving at least 88 mammal and 240 bird species, not to mention the diversity in insect life, this reserve truly is a treasure trove of biodiversity.
