Here we share ongoing findings, field observations, project progress and insights from our work in the Okonjima Nature Reserve. All updates reflect AfriCat’s commitment to evidence-based conservation and long-term ecological monitoring.
Through regular articles we highlight new findings, fieldwork stories, technology developments and collaborative research projects. Each update reflects AfriCat’s commitment to careful, long-term data collection and the belief that protected areas can play an important role in wildlife conservation.
These updates form part of AfriCat’s aim to make its work transparent, accessible and scientifically grounded. We invite readers, supporters and fellow researchers to follow the progress of our projects as we continue to study and protect the wildlife and habitats of the ONR.
AfriCat Foundation’s 2025 research update at Okonjima Nature Reserve details long-term leopard, pangolin and brown hyena monitoring, tracking technology and collaborations.
AfriCat has entered a new era of science-driven conservation. Once focused on carnivore rescue, the Foundation now centres its work on long-term ecological research in the Okonjima Nature Reserve, using evidence-based methods to understand wildlife, restore habitats and strengthen conservation practices.
In 2024 AfriCat expanded its LoRa network, grew its camera trap systems, improved identification methods, organised historic samples, strengthened security, advanced pangolin, leopard and brown hyena research, supported staff changes and deepened collaborations, while engaging visitors and planning further conservation work for 2025.
