Expanding Project Scope

We have discovered some Chameleons in the city that are not Cape Dwarf.

These are probably brought accidentally into Cape Town by the nursery industry, although some may be misguided people moving them around between holiday destinations and home.

Please dont transport Chameleons (or tadpoles, or anything) between destinations: our biodiversity is quite unlike anything in Europe or North America, and in the Cape the biodiversity changes between George and Cape Town (400km) are equivalent and exceed that between Morocco and Sudan (4000km).

The project within the city is thus expanded to all Chameleons in the genus Bradypodion ...
This wont make a big change, but will alert us to more records of out-of-range species in Cape Town.
see the species tab of the project to see the other species recorded so far ...
