Recent records of wild cats in the Bo‚ sector of Guinea Bissau
2016  Cat News (63): 15-17

Chimbo Foundation implements a community based conservation program of the Western chimpanzee _Pan troglodytes_ verus in the Bo‚ sector of Guinea Bissau. In 2014 trail-cameras trapped an African golden cat _Caracal aurata_ - this is a new record for the country - and in 2015 caracal _Caracal caracal_. In the same year lion _Panthera leo _was recorded by trail-cameras, a valuable proof of the presence of a species in heavy decline over its West-African range.
