Dr.Pienaar was appointed as Park Warden of the Kruger National Park and as Chief Director of SANParks in 1987. He held this post until his retirement after 35 years of service, 32 of which were spent in the Kruger National Park. Dr Pienaar was an excellent naturalist with a wide scientific interest, and was largely responsible for guiding research directions during a long and influential era. He established the Reference Museum in the Skukuza area of the Kruger National Park and started inventorising plant, fish, reptile, mammal, amphibian, insect and bird diversity in the Park. Dr Pienaar also played a leading role in research on chemical capture and immobilisation techniques of wild animals. He wrote numerous scientific papers and reference books, as well as two books about the history of the Kruger National Park, namely “Neem uit die verlede (1990)” which deals with the early history of the Kruger National Park (until 1946).
