Rockjumper is proud to announce that we have recently become Blue Swallow Guardians through our support of The Endangered Wildlife Trust’s (EWT) Threatened Grassland Species Programme. This vital project aims to reverse the rapid decline (and likely extinction within a mere 10 years) of South Africa’s Blue Swallow population, of which fewer than 38 known breeding pairs survive. (The total global population is estimated to number around 1000 breeding pairs.)
In South Africa, the breeding population is monitored as part of a long-term project run by the EWT’s Threatened Grassland Species Programme. Long-term monitoring is essential to determine population trends and thus provide valuable information to conservation authorities in order to inform grassland management decisions.
