One of the big challenges we've faced in the Mola area is being disconnected, but that's all about to change. A solar power system has finally been installed at our little base in the community.
This system will allow our Project team to stay connected and provide a place for our Lion Guardians and Human-Wildlife Conflict Officers to charge their equipment, stay in touch and share critical data on the movement and behaviour of predators.
In September, we made our first attempt to collar lions active in the communal areas. Unfortunately, we were only able to find one set of tracks and after a week of tracking, the lion continued to elude us. We're hoping for better luck with our next attempt, but with the rainy season now firmly upon us, it may be a few months before we have the right conditions again.
All 11 cattle bomas are functioning and currently accommodate 179 heads of livestock. Veterinary care has continued monthly, and throughout the year we have maintained a minimum of 85% dipping and vaccinating coverage throughout the year, despite the COVID-19 lockdowns and complications.
As we wind down project activity for the year, I would like to once again give each of you our most sincere thanks for your continued support. You have made sure that this project continues to provide support to a community's livelihoods during uncertain times.
From all of us at the African Bush Camps Foundation, we hope you have a wonderful festive season and look forward to updating you next year.
