CCB would like to inform its valued stakeholders that the CCB offices will close on the 19th December 2014 and open on the 12th January 2015. We would like to take this opportunity to thank and appreciate all our partners, donors, stakeholders, educators, communities and the general public of Botswana for all the support, participation, conviction and commitment they have each put in to making CCB what it is today. Without you, we would not have made what strides we have in facilitating coexistence between Botswana’s predator and human populations. We look forward to working with you again in 2015 in reaching even greater heights in these endeavors.

We wish you all a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!

Over the 9th – 11th December 2014, CCB Ghanzi camp was our venue for 2014/15 annual planning meeting. Each department had the opportunity to share their accomplishments in 2014, the challenges and potential solutions. The following day our newest addition, Development Manager, Ms. Nidhi Gureja, took us through project management practices and each department presented on their work plans for 2015. Such tools guide us in achieving CCB's mission and goals annually. The gathering ended in style with an end of year party to celebrate our accomplishments in conserving Botswana's cheetahs in 2014!

Wrapping up our 10th Anniversary Celebrations in Style!

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we had our inaugural charity golf day at Gaborone Golf Club in 14th September 2014. Followed by an art competition and prize-giving ceremonies held on the 11th and 18th October 2014 in Jwaneng and Ghanzi respectively, with the theme “Harmonious coexistence with Botswana’s predators”. To wrap up, we had an anniversary celebratory dinner organised in commemoration of International Cheetah Day on 6th December 2014 in Gaborone, at Thapong Visual Arts Centre. It was a night to thank our local stakeholders and partners for their invaluable support and reflect on the progress made and challenges still ahead. CCB has been pursuing its vision and mission, and developing and refining its program, since 2003, however, the challenge remains a formidable one. We have seen a difference over the last decade, but we’re a long way from the secure future we seek for these cats. We look forward to continuing to work with our stakeholders as we strive to save this species which is a national asset, for the benefit of all Batswana.

The First Birth of the Season at CCB Demo Farm in Ghanzi

12/3/2014

In 2010, CCB started a Demonstration Farm in Ghanzi with 16 goats and 2 livestock guarding dogs. Its purpose was to be a teaching tool and a venue to teach small-scale local farmers about improved livestock husbandry methods and predation mitigation techniques. Our total loss to predators has been just four goats since 2011 and in an area which hosts cheetah, wild dogs, leopards,brown hyenas, jackals and caracals that considerably lower than the norm. One of the husbandry practices we promote is a single, controlled annual breeding season so that all the young ones are born at the same time and are therefore easier to kraal and protect at the time of their lives when they are most vulnerable. We are just entering this year’s birth season and on the 17th December 2014 at night, the first kidlet was born. Now the herd numbers stands at 64 and we are expecting a lot more kidlets in the next few weeks. Our attentive herders and trusty livestock guarding dogs will be watching over them with care over the coming months.
