We chat to Dr David Mills, programme manager for the Carnivore Conservation Project, which focuses on conserving African Wild dogs, cheetahs and more recently, lions.
These carnivores faces endless threats from humans, including animal-human conflict, poaching and habitat loss. Why and when was Carnivore Conservation Project started?
The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) was established in 1973. Carnivores have always held a special place within EWT’s organisational mission.
The Cheetah was one of the founding species and the Cheetah spoor is our logo. Over the years, EWT’s carnivore conservation has taken on a broader scope.
