Duma, meaning cheetah in Swahili, is one of two
male
cheetahs at Mokolodi Game Reserve in Botswana.
I was
lucky to spend 4 hours with them on my last
day in
Botswana working as a volunteer for
Cheetah Conservation Botswana.
This
project has reached so much since it was started
two
years ago. Read more about the project here
and
how you can support it.

One of
two cheetah cubs in Jwaneng Game Reserve,
where
the volunteers also helped feeding the two females
Alice
& Gracie. They had lost their mother and another
sibling
and
are now staying here until they can be released
around
the age of 18 months. The estimated number
of
cheetahs in Africa is now 10.000 and the cheetah is
the
most endangered big cat in Africa.
Cheetah tracks found in Jwaneng Game Reserve on
the 15th
of May this year. And we found more
the
following week. Working as a volunteer for
Cheetah Conservation Botswana also includes radio
tracking
from
vehicle and by plane.
As
soon as I have picked out the photos from my trip
to put
on the web site you can see more and learn
more
about this unique cat. |
