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, the Chimpanzee is listed by the IUCN as an animal that is Endangered in it's natural environment and therefore faces the threat of extinction in the near future if nothing is done to change the situation. It is estimated that there could be as few as 100,000 individuals remaining in Africa, with the population having thought to have declined rapidly over the past 30 years. With the level of deforestation continuing to increase, Chimpanzees are being pushed into smaller and more isolated regions of their once vast natural range leading to further population declines in many areas of Africa.
