Title:

The Black-footed Cat Research Project Namibia: Project update August 2022

Publication Year:
2022
Abstract:

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 and 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. 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. Much has happened since the last update in January 2022. A rather lengthy update this time, it reports on highlights in the months March to August 2022.
