During June 2023, we conducted a scoping trip in South Africa and Mozambique. The objective was to present the project and get to know the field and the stakeholders with whom we will work. We visited Pretoria, Hoedspruit, Kruger National Park, and the Maputo and Massingir Provinces, where we reconnected with existing contacts and met new potential collaborators, all in preparation for TREPA’s implementation of research activities.
