ProposalDescription: 

Proposed conservation interventions for the preservation of rare and fragile footprints situated within a municipal quarry just outside of Sutherland, Northern Cape

Expanded_Motivation: 

Of immediate concern is the obvious destruction of up to 40% of the site. It is unclear whether this portion of the site was destroyed by human intervention or by erosion. It seems likely due to human intervention since there was not enough loose material in the area to justify erosion. As far as we know the weather in the area has been fair in the two weeks between site visits and as such, it is difficult to explainthe destruction through erosion. It also appears that the damage was too selective to be due to erosion. In either case, immediate conservation interventions are required for the preservation of this significant site.
