Most of Africa's remaining #cheetahs live outside protected areas. Instead, these #cats share the landscape with humans and domestic animals. With fewer than 7,500 cheetahs remaining in the wild, #solutions fostering #coexistence are more important than ever.

This week, we celebrated the 8th birthday of our scat detection #dogs, Enyakwa and Gamena! We treated the pups to a prototype scent board. Their first trials went well – and we’re already thinking about upgrading this DIY version. Of course, no birthday would be complete without a treat!
