After a stint as assistant biologist on Marion Island (1982-1983), he became head technician at the Mammal Research Institute, UP, (1983-2009), where he honed his skills during numerous research expeditions throughout Southern Africa. In 2009, Martin left the university to focus on AWT full-time. He has worked with wildlife across the globe: from the Florida Everglades to the Arctic Circle, and dozens of African countries as well as the Middle-East and Asia. His specialist knowledge in the application of tracking technologies (satellite, GSM, LoRa, UHF and VHF) has led to the tagging of more than 80 unique species, including carnivores, ungulates, birds, reptiles and marine mammals. AWT has collected data on tens of thousands of animals since its inception.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d6f9f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7d6f9f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7701125 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7701125\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" id=\"submission\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9ad04ba\" data-id=\"9ad04ba\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13ae7bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"13ae7bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">SYMPOSIUM STUDENT QUIZ<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c7221f elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"9c7221f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78c9169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"78c9169\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>All tertiary institutions are invited to enter student teams for the annual SAWMA\/Plaas Media Quiz, which will take place on Tuesday evening, 12 September 2023.

The park\u2019s most notable features are its golden, ochre, and orange-hued, deeply eroded sandstone cliffs and outcrops, especially the Brandwag rock.<\/p><p>The vegetation in the Golden Gate Nature Reserve consists mainly of wooded ravines, gullies and grasslands. Golden Gate Highlands National Park was established in 1963 to protect the sandstone rocks which were once shelters for the Bushmen. The numerous caves and shelters in the area display many San rock paintings.<\/p><p>The park also boasts various rare and indigenous flowers that include the Arum Lily, Watsonias, Fire Lilies and Red-Hot Pokers. The park is one of the last refuges of the rare Bearded Vulture and the rare bald ibis which breeds annually in Cathedral Cave. The park is also home to a variety of mammals that include Burchell\u2019s Zebra, Black Wildebeest, Eland, Blesbok, Springbok and the threatened Oribi. Some 140 bird species have been identified in the park, and a hide at the Vulture Restaurant enables bird lovers to view these creatures closely.<\/p><p>Numerous palaeontology finds have been made in the park, including dinosaur eggs and skeletons.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element
