Dear all,

One of our student members, Kyle Smith, who is busy with his PhD, has a questionnaire for his studies to share with the SAWMA group:

"Hello all,

I’m currently doing my PhD at the University of Pretoria, studying the ecology of the African striped weasel (Poecilogale albinucha). Part of my research project involves having the public complete a questionnaire on their knowledge and perceptions about the striped weasel, and South African small carnivores in general.

I would appreciate it very much if you could please complete our questionnaire – there are no long-answer questions, and it takes about 15 minutes to complete. No personal information will be collected for use in the study.

One of the survey's goals is to gather responses from all areas of society. It would be great if you could also forward this questionnaire to friends and family outside of our wildlife research field. If you read this email on your phone, you can use this link to launch WhatsApp and forward the questionnaire to the contacts you choose: WhatsApp link

The study has ethical approval through the University of Pretoria’s ethics committee (NAS168/2025).

With much appreciation,

Kyle Smith”

If you are interested or willing to complete the questionnaire, it will be great.

Kind regards,

Elma
