Cheetah Conservation Botswana. 'Spirit of the Kalahari'.

A 6-minute clip showing the beginning of Cheetah Conservation Botswana's conservation video 'Spirit of the Kalahari'

CHEETAH CONSERVATION BOTSWANA aims to preserve the nation's cheetah population through scientific research, community outreach and education, working with rural communities to promote coexistence with Botswana's rich diversity of predator species.

The project was formed in 2003 to address the threat to the nation's cheetah population. The major challenge for the project, funded by grant aid and donor support, is one of improving community perceptions towards predators and ensuring that retaliatory killings do not continue to threaten cheetah numbers, while, at the same time, supporting and protecting rural community welfare. Your generous support is already helping us to achieve that.

Only by working together with communities who live side-by-side with predators, with initiatives tailored to meet their needs and priorities, do we hope to foster the attitudes of coexistence that will see cheetahs remain as an essential component in this remarkable ecosystem and as a flagship species for the rich biodiversity of Botswana.
