Research has been continuing in our Jwaneng and Ghanzi research camps. Spoor surveys assist in establishing movement patterns and population densities for cheetahs, leopards, hyenas and lions and usually run for periods of around three months. Also in Ghanzi, we have had the opportunity to conduct three
cheetah work-up sessions. The first two subjects were males, subsequently
trans-located from farm properties to chosen locations within the Central
Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) - one in September 2007 and the second in January 2008. The third session also took place in January, this time on a
female with five 10 month old cubs. Following the fitting of a satellite
collar to the mother, this group was also trans-located to the CKGR with the support of the Department of Wildlife & National Parks.
