Community Cheetah and Leopard Comparison sheet

We pass these out when visiting communities for the first time and as needed. We also have a Kiswahili version. The sheets have been so helpful in instilling knowledge on the basic differentiation of these two local, spotted, though very different felids!

At last, the female!

Victory! During 2014 the project and scientists at the neighboring Rukinga sanctuary, were trying to confirm the presence of a female cheetah which had been sighted in years prior. While camera units were useful in identifying 5 male cheeta...hs; we thus far had not captured the female on the units. Covering a much larger area, as female cheetahs do, she was finally spotted, and with four healthy cubs. This looks promising for the Rukinga population. This location which lies between the Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks may also serve as a corridor for the connecting populations. Camera units will assist with confirmation over time.

Luring for captures in protected areas with "Obsession for Men"

1/30/2015

0 Comments

 
Cameras being re-deployed in locations of protected areas for cheetah identification and monitoring. Here, we will also test the efficacy of "Obsession for Men", as a harmless luring technique for cheetahs. Given the close proximity of other large cats in the area (such as the girl, pictured here, this morning,) will be interesting to see what we capture...

Education Programs, Research Collaborations and Community Mitigation

Into 2015, the project has been busy initiating additional education programs in various schools of high priority , where students share their lands with threatened predators. This primary school immediately borders Tsavo East and hosts  primarily children of pastoral communities.
Picture
Also high on our agenda, is collaborations with like-minded local conservation initiatives and science projects, such as Wildlife Works - Rukinga Sanctuary scientists.  Here is their awesome research station in the quiet Rukinga bush..

Verification of livestock depredation, the predator responsible, and both proven and innovative methods to mitigate conflict has also expanded within our study area. With this, many communities are requesting project camera trap units to assist in confirming cheetah / predator presence and attacks on livestock.
