Communities and endangered top carnivores are beginning to coexist. This presentation reveals the power of perseverance, wisdom-sharing, and collaboration at the heart of modern wildlife conservation. In the vast landscapes of southern Africa, communities and endangered carnivore species are beginning to coexist so that all beings may thrive. Meet cheetahs and African painted wolves — the continent’s two most endangered carnivores. With perhaps only a decade remaining before free-roaming populations may disappear, the urgency is real. Yet, this isn’t a story of defeat.
It’s a story about advancing the coexistence imperative. Dedicated grassroot conservation
organizations and communities in southern Africa are transforming human-wildlife conflict
through compassion, dedication, and resilience. Join us for an inspiring evening that will leave
you believing in the power of working towards a future where people and wildlife flourish side-
by-side.
We invite you to learn more about Cheetah Conservation Botswana’s programs and projects.
