One of a number of spent shotgun cartridges I found in the Nsuta Forest Reserve.
The Nsuta Forest Reserve appeared to be almost devoid of diurnal mammals save for a few small green squirrels. The reserve is secondary forest used for logging, as such there's no longer a proper canopy as so many of the big trees have been taken out. This undoubtedly would have severely impacted species dependent on high canopy rainforest. Those mammals that are able to survive in degraded secondary forest, could cope reasonably well with the ongoing logging,
However, they have been all but wiped by commercial bushmeat poachers. Some bushmeat hunting is legal in Ghana, a few common species can be hunted between the 1st of August and the 1st of December with a licence, and the marsh cane rat known as a grasscutter can be hunted all year round. What's quite clear though is that almost all mammal species including those that should be protected are still being hunted illegally.
Monkeys like Lowe's and lesser spot-nosed that should be able to survive in secondary forest, have completely gone from Nsuta, purely because of illegal hunting..This seems to be a problem common to all forest reserves in Ghana, As all wild mammals have become rarer and rarer then poachers have had to venture deeper into protected areas to find them. Poaching is thus a serious problem in all of the national parks as well.
The combination of major habitat destruction and out of control bushmeat poaching has meant that many species that are endemic to this region are now threatened with imminent extinction. During one birding walk through Nsuta we encountered a poacher carrying a single-barrelled shotgun and a bag over his shoulder to contain whatever mammals he might have shot.
The nursing students invited us to eat a traditional Ghanaian lunch with them. The meal consisted of fufu and grasscutter (cane rat) stew. The fufu is the doughy starch, eaten with your hands, and is made of pounded cassava root and plantain.
At Lochranza the Red Deer roam free in the village and have become quite used to humans. They run if you point something at them in the hills though. Don't mention cull...
It was with high hopes that we turned off to a Farm Stall, only to find that it was closed, on the way to George via Graaff Reinet.
But it did offer us a few photo's in the morning sunshine.
The Shinto (Japanese) Goddess of the Sun, Amaterasu is basically the main deity of her pantheon. She's holding the legendary Grasscutter sword, which was found in the belly of a giant worm-like monster.

Synopsis
For years, as Miyamoto Usagi has wandered the countryside, an unseen, malevolent entity has been tracing his steps. Thought dead since the events of Grasscutter, the demon Jei - the Black Soul - has been-inhabiting the body of the swordswoman Inazuma, intent on destroying the evil he claims to see in Usagi! Meanwhile, Boss Bakuchi, shamed by his inability to avenge his son's death, doubles the bounty on the killer - Inazuma. The money brings out scores of bounty hunters, unaware that they are merely a flock of sparrows intent on bringing down an eagle. The hunt for Inazuma also draws Usagi, hunters Gen and Stray Dog, and a mysterious stranger named Isamu, each with his own motive. As the threat of the Black Soul re-emerges, this epic storyline reveals at last the true origin of Jei!

The side slope proved too much for this Grass Cutter, it slid and couldn't reverse due to zero traction.

June 28th 2010, Rob Campbell got to see and touch The Grasscutters spiffy new solar trailer alongside David Shephard who discussed his many ideas for the future as we got caught up on the past. As you know this innovative green energy lawn care company just recently sponsored a photo contest on Lenzr, and so we talked about green energy and online contest marketing. You can read David's blog about Slimmswitch the winner of the How Green Are You? photo contest, sponsored by The Grasscutters on that website.
