Seeking the Path of Least Disclosure:

Hunting for Official Answers on Wildlife in South Africa

06-01-2010 Animal Rights Africa, South Africa


Despite the constitutional guarantee and the Department’s stated values, Animal Rights Africa (ARA) and other NGO researchers, environmental lawyers and journalists regularly struggle to source accurate and up to date information on wildlife issues from the provinces, the Department of Environmental Affairs and the South African National Parks (SANParks).

It is unclear how balanced decisions can be made at a national level when statistics vary so considerably or are not available. These failings also call into question some of the information given to international bodies such as CITES.

This document highlights several examples of contradictory or incomplete information published in press releases, written responses to Parliamentary questions and in official response to researchers and journalists.
