Why care
Just because animals are living in a national park doesn’t mean they are protected. Endangered carnivores are threatened by human encroachment, diseases, snaring for illegal bushmeat trade and human wildlife conflict.

Researching Kafue’s populations of carnivores in order to safeguard them, their prey and their surrounding habitat.
Their fieldwork is focused on researching Kafue’s cheetah, wild dog and lion populations and to provide data to the Zambian Department of National Parks and Wildlife in order to protect and support entire ecosystems.
Are part of a rapid-action response team to remove snares and treat wounded animals.
