The Kalahari Predator Conservation Trust is a group of individuals with the aim of protecting and conserving predators in Botswana and the rest of Africa.
Goals
- To protect and preserve every predator species in the Kalahari, especially lions, wild dogs, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas
- To scientifically research and study the interaction of man and animal
- To conduct a field biology research for a better understanding of the genetic patterns of predators specially regarding diseases affecting predators
- To encourage and support farmers to engage more effective protection measures for their livestock against predator attacks
- To develop working solutions for the co-existence of both wildlife and human populations
Visions
- To preserve the animal and plant diversity, especially predators in Botswana
- To conserve and preserve all Africa predators including Lions, Wild dogs, Leopard, Hyenas, Cheetahs, Jackals and other predators
- To guide and educate the human community towards living side by side in harmony with predators.
- To promote the wise utilization of natural resources
- To work in conjunction with the Department of Wildlife and the Government of Botswana in the conservation of predators and other wildlife
Our goals and visions are based somewhat on the IUCN’s (International Union for Conservation of Nature) three main goals:
- To highlight a way of living that allows people an excellent quality of life that consorts with nature
- To learn to especially care for natural resources that our earth can not renew.
- To protect the bio-diversity of the wilderness.
