Welcome to the Endangered Species Power Trail placed by specimenX & Rapidlywild
This power trail has been placed out near Bookham in NSW just off the Hume Highway, and will take you down along side the Murrumbidgee River.
Along this power trail you will come across some wonderful views, encounters with livestock, wildlife and an all round leisurely drive
NOTE: As these roads are within country land, please drive with caution and be aware of your surroundings at all times. There will frequently be livestock crossing roads and at times, you may be in the same fields as the livestock. Some of the road is bitumen and some is gravel, we encourage all cachers to check weather conditions prior to hitting the power trail to ensure the roads are not too wet and slippery. Also, please ensure that you give the farmers the respect they deserve; we request that cachers do not inconvenience the farmers. All roads are public access roads unless otherwise stated.
Due to the dirt roads and the livestock, we do not recommend this power trail to be completed at night time. Also, due to the location, phone reception is exceptionally poor (in some places it is nonexistent) so we recommend this power trail completed with a GPSr only.
Today, although slightly recovering in certain areas, African Forest Elephant populations are still threatened from increasing levels of illegal poaching and habitat destruction. Deforestation in the African Forest Elephant's territory means that the African Forest Elephants lose both their food and shelter making them more vulnerable in the wild. African Forest Elephants are also constantly threatened by poachers hunting the Elephants for their ivory tusks. They are now listed as an Endangered species.
