The Tsavos are a vast ecosystem of wildlife diversity, with multiple
tribal communities residing on the peripheries of the park boundaries.
They are also home to one of the last remaining population strongholds
for the cheetah in all of East Africa; the Tsavo cheetah population.
To date, we have mainly focused field programs in and around
Tsavo East National Park, Alone, this wild expanse covers an area of
13, 747² km. The Tsavos are largely unfenced, but they need to be to
enable connecting populations of threatened species; such as the
cheetah and African wild dog. The down side is, more conflict between
the predators and residents on their settlements and more conflict
between predators and pastoralists inside the parks, where they often
graze their livestock. The project also needs to investigate the
southern Tsavo west population, which borders to the north of
Tanzania,connecting with Mkomazi National Park (Tanzania)..
The Tsavo Cheetah Project has followed up on livestock loss and
predation reports made by residents, since inception. Investigations
into cheetah presence and depredation on small (and occasionally
large) bodied livestock, verification through examination of bite
marks and measures to reduce conflict with the cheetah and other large
cats, is an ongoing activity of the project. Only when we verify
reports and work directly with communities can we provide on-ground
assistance and education to effectively reduce conflict between local
predators, the people, and their livestock. Thus, allowing for
coexistence between communities and predators, and conservation of the
cheetah, as a highly threatened species.
Our project covers a vast area, which is necessary for a species with such a large home range. We are raising funds this month to fund transportation costs to and from local community homesteads, schools for our education programs on the cheetah, and for critical cheetah monitoring, with emphasis in areas of high predator conflict.
With your donation in any amount, we are one step closer to meeting our goal in ensuring the continuation of these vital cheetah conservation programs, in Tsavo, Kenya. Asante Sana (Thank you) in advance, for caring enough to contribute towards their protection.
100% of donations for Tsavo Cheetah Project are utlized directly in the field.
