Because the numbers of roan antelope have dwindled seriously, a study project has been started in the Kruger National Park. Sixteen animals were captured by drug immobilisation and then released in a special enclosure where they can be studied. The author, who is a member of the Board of Trustees, assesses the status of the roan where it is found in Africa and describes the project.
