7 days left. This photo was taken at one of the ranch locations, which is included in this proposed study. As you can probably tell, Tsavo Cheetah Project's camera trap captured a predator cage-trap, that was set by ranch staff near a goat boma (livestock holding enclosure). These goats are left to graze freely and double as live bait', for any visiting, diurnal predator. Remember, this location is adjacent to the largely unfenced Tsavo National Park, within the corridor between Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Wide ranging species, like the cheetah, need to be able to safely travel through this corridor and feed on their natural prey species, in order to survive. The project needs more camera trap equipment to conduct this critical research, and facilitate a local action plan for the cheetah.  Please continue to share this link :https://experiment.com/tsavo with friends and colleagues so that we can reach our goal and begin this timely study. Asante sana (Thank you, so much)!

About This Project

In the Tsavo Ecosystem there is a corridor that is vital for the dispersal and long-term survival of cheetahs, with potential to connect the populations across the Tsavo East and West National Parks. We will assess landscape use and dispersal routes of cheetahs and identify threats to their dispersal corridor, via camera trap data on three key, connecting livestock ranches. Results will facilitate land management decisions and community-driven initiatives.
