We are delighted to release the two Servals at iSimangaliso Wetland Park and to play our part in ensuring the conservation of this rare and beautiful species. This neighboring Wetland Park, iSimangaliso, provides them with a secure home away from inhabited areas and the threat of snaring. Servals are listed on the ‘Threatened or Protected Species’ (TOPS) list owing to their rarity. They are vulnerable to being snared and killed by farmers, in particular for their beautiful pelts.
