The Black-footed Cat Research Project Namibia was initiated in 2012 to 1) collect more fine-scale distribution records of black-footed cats in Namibia, specifically on farmland and protected areas in Namibia; 2) educate and raise awareness for this little known wild cat species; 3) investigate & identify threats and to establish its conservation status; 4) find strongholds for its conservation and 5) study the distribution, biology and ecology of this species in Namibia. Large parts of the species’ distribution range falls within private farmland, therefore landowner efforts and co-operation are important to conserve the species regionally. This rare species of wild cat should be seen as a flagship species of our unique arid southern Namibia. This project is a collaborative effort between the Black-Footed Cat Working Group (BFCWG), the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) Biodiversity Research Centre (BRC) and the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism. One year after the first ever captures and collaring of black-footed cats (hereafter bfc) in Namibia, all female cats are well and have given us the opportunity to study their home range movements. Ndele Shipala, the field technician and NUST Masters student, regularly monitored all the females by telemetry, some camera trap footage (Figure 1) and visual observations throughout 2020 and into 2021. It takes a lot of patience, diligence and passion to work on these secretive nocturnal animals. The landowners’ support and co-operation is vital for the success of the project and for the long-term conservation of this unique species in southern Namibia.
