"In many ways the Transvaal is a microcosm of the southern African subcontinent, positioned astride the Tropic of Capricorn and at the junction between the tropical savannas and the temperate grasslands, fringed on the west by the arid, flat Kalahari and cleaved in the east by the wet, mountainous, forested Drakensberg escarpment. Because of this rich array of habitats, a rich diversity of birds of prey is to be found in the Transvaal; no less than 62 different species have been recorded here. A growing awareness that many of these have become scarce in recent times, not only in the Transvaal but throughout southern Africa, prompted the Transvaal Division of Nature Conservation to undertake a survey, the primary aim of which was to assess each species' present and past status."
