June 21st saw the release of Cheetah Conservation Botswana’s orphaned cheetahs in northern Botswana. Both cubs were fitted with satelite GPS collars to record their movements post release. The cubs are been temporarily held in a large boma, within the concession whilst …they adjust to their new surroundings. An update the following week showed they were adapting to their new environment and doing well.
From the initial news in March of ’09 of the transfer of the cubs from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks, to the rearing and release of these two individuals, to get the orphaned cheetahs to this point just shows how much work Cheetah Conservation Botswana has put into them and their community.
