	This placement would suit... People thining of making a career in conservation or who have an interest in understanding game capture methods. South Africa is one of the only African counties that has a growing game industry. A specialized part of this industry is the breeding of both endangered and general game species for the restocking of new areas, and the increasing of both numbers and species diversity in existing areas. To achieve these restocking aims animals are captured, transported and released under the safest conditions possible. The Game Capture Units where A.C.E places volunteers have built up a good reputation with Land Owners and Game Reserves in the Eastern and Western Cape, Free State and Northern Provinces of South Africa. Students get the opportunity to experience the every day workings of the team, and are afforded the opportunity to get hands on capture experience - as opposed to being only spectators! These activities are filled with excitement, hard work and coupled with learning about the principles of game capture and relocation, are very rewarding. Since the game capture unit moves between local landowners with the ground capture team of about thirty indigenous South Africans, a memorable cultural interaction is part of the whole programme. The capture team takes a break of 5 days per month. This break is at different times of the month depending on work load.
