Cheetah Conservation Botswana (CCB), in collaboration with Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP), Kanye district office, held a farmers workshop at Mabule village in Southern District on the 3 April 2012. The workshop was attended by farmers from seven villages from Dikhukhung, Leporung, Tshidilamolomo, Mmakgori, Mabule, Sekhutlane and Lerolwane. Farmers Associations’ members in the region were used to invite the farmers to the workshop. It was held under the theme, “MY KNOWLEDGE, A BETTER WAY FOR SUSTAINABLE CONSERVATION”.
Cheetah Conservation Botswana did a presentation on the use of sustainable practices and methods of conserving wildlife and livelihoods as well as the need for coexistence with predators. They also touched on the use of effective livestock management techniques such as the use of livestock guarding dogs (LSGD). Other stake holders who came to present at the workshop included the Department of Forestry and Range Resources (DFRR), The Botswana Police Services (BPS), Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) and Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP).
There were requests for CCB to look at possibility of using LSGD in cattle as there are farmers across the border that are using this method.
