Black-footed Cat Working Group - report on surveying, catching and monitoring black-footed cats (_Felis nigripes_) on Benfontein Nature Reserve, Nuweijaarsfontein and Taaiboschpoort Farms in 2016
2016 Full Book
The Black-footed Cat Working Group (BFCWG) aims to conserve this rare cat species by furthering awareness and conducting multidisciplinary research on the species' biology. The BFCWG owns a research vehicle (Toyota Hilux) for which the insurance, running and maintenance costs are administered by the McGregor Museum, Kimberley, South Africa. The specialised equipment required for our research is also stored at the McGregor Museum. This year we made one joint trip to the two previous study areas: Benfontein Nature Reserve (BFN), near Kimberley, from 25-31 October 2016 then to Nuwejaarsfontein (NJF) and Taaiboschpoort (TBP) Farms, south of De Aar, from 31 October - 6 November 2016.
