Request to SANParks for copies of documents relating to its Kruger National Park Buffalo Offtake

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) submitted a formal request to South African National Parks (SANParks) on 23 February 2017 seeking records and justifications regarding the 'sustainable off take' exercise of buffalo in the Kruger National Park.

• The Centre for Environmental Rights requested documentation from South African National Parks to determine if there is a "scientific or conservation justification" for the buffalo "sustainable off take" exercise in the Kruger National Park, including the specific numbers of buffalo killed in 2016 and those planned for 2017.
• The request seeks detailed information on the commercial and charitable distribution of buffalo meat and by-products (such as skins, horns, and bones), including the selection process for NGOs, charities, and local communities receiving meat.
• The CER requested financial and operational data regarding the Skukuza abattoir, specifically the cost of its recent refurbishment, staffing levels, budgeted operating income and costs, and the animal welfare measures in place.
