If you are visiting Botswana or if you are resident here, then the chances are that you may see cheetah on your travels within the country. Your sightings can be added to our national database, which will help us to construct and update our data to develop a better understanding of the status and distribution of cheetah in Botswana. Please follow the link below and complete the information on our online cheetah sightings form. The information will be automatically added to our database and will help us to build a reliable picture of cheetah population sizes, locations and movements in Botswana. If you have any additional information or photos please send to: research@cheetahbotswana.com

If so, please contact us to complete a questionnaire. We conduct surveys to identify priority areas for support, to explore the factors which may encourage predators to start taking livestock, to discover which livestock protection methods are currently being used are which are effective, and also to examine perceptions, etc. Please send us your contact details and in return, we will add you to our mailing list for the latest on effective predator control and livestock management.
