What specific South African preserve is named as a primary location where Black Wildebeest populations are currently concentrated?
Answer
Sterkfontein Dam Nature Reserve
While the Black Wildebeest was historically widespread across the highveld grasslands of South Africa, current locations are highly restricted due to conservation efforts following historical declines. Today, finding this species requires targeting specific protected areas within South Africa where grasslands are managed for their needs. The Sterkfontein Dam Nature Reserve is explicitly cited as an example of these specific preserves where intensive management efforts maintain localized populations of the Black Wildebeest.
