The mammals listed above are very scarce, and wild, in the Conservancy area because they are menaced by people and stray dogs. If more care is not taken with their conservation, they will no longer occur here at all.  However, if it can be seen that resident populations are increasing, species such as Eland, Black Wildebeest , Aardvark and so forth, can be re-introduced.
