A selection of images taken on a project I documented for the Earthwatch Institute. The project carries out research into the endangered and persecuted Brown Hyena in South Africa. Our work concentrated around protected and un-protected areas; principally Pilanesberg National Park and Mankwe Wildlife Reserve.
