Awareness Raising Materials for Community Outreach and Education

Botswana has one of the last viable, free-ranging cheetah populations in the world. CCB has developed a conservation program focusing on reducing predator / livestock conflict and improving the attitudes of the farming community and their methods of predator control. In protected areas, cheetahs are out-competed by high populations of stronger predators and pushed onto marginal land. Here they come into conflict with livestock farmers. As more land is gazetted as commercial farms to supply the overseas beef market, this conflict between communities and predators is increasing. Conservation of the cheetah depends on the attitudes of these farming communities.

CCB has 3 core programs: research, community outreach and education. While CCB's research is focused on the cheetah, the community outreach and education programs are concerned with all predators and effective land management that can support ecosystem health and biodiversity. We work to improve the methods of livestock farming utilised and encourage the use of effective management and non lethal methods of predator control. CCB runs community outreach and education programs that works with rural communities living with predators. Activities include community meetings, farmer training workshops, school visits, teacher training workshops and training workshops for the Department of Wildlife. During all these activities structured materials are distributed on the importance of predators in healthy ecosystems; correct identification of predators; methods of range management, livestock husbandry and non-lethal predator control to minimize conflict and opportunities for potential livelihood diversification.
