Report on surveying and catching black-footed cats on Benfontein Nature Reserve / Nuwejaarsfontein, 2-20 February 2009
2009 Full Book
The Black-footed cat Working Group has the goals of furthering awareness and research for this rare cat, bringing together multidisciplinary expertise on the species biology. It owns a Toyota Hilux as a dedicated working vehicle purchased by funds donated from Cologne Zoo, Cincinnati Zoo, Zoological Society of San Diego and Ebeltoft Zoo to the project in February 2008. The required insurance, running and maintenance costs for it are administered by the McGregor Museum, while the vehicle is solely used for black-footed cat research. The specialized equipment required for our research is likewise stored at the McGregor Museum, Kimberley. This year we worked in two study areas, for an initial period from 2nd -7th and then 13th - 20th February on Benfontein Nature Reserve, Kimberley and in between these periods in a second study area on Nuwejaarsfontein, De Aar from 7th -13th February 2009.
