We love to get updates like this one from our grantee Endangered Wildlife Trust πΎ
Follow along as they set and check camera traps to gather data that helps them identify individual lions and build a clearer picture of lion populations.

Na bijna 20 jaar stoppen wij met reizen naar Zuid Afrika. Niet alleen vanwege de leeftijd maar ook omdat Zuid Afrika onstabieler en gewelddadiger is geworden maar we zullen de natuur daar enorm missen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSRT...

Conratulations to InΓ¨z Faul for submitting her PhD thesis to @uni-kiel.de today π₯³ π We are proud of you! InΓ¨z studied the formation processes and past environment at pans in the #Kgalagadi #Botswana with geoarchaeological methods - and is our first PhD student to submitt!
The last days we spend a lot of time with these quartzite bedrock outcrops - recording every detail π· πβοΈβοΈ πͺ¨ to understand their use as raw material source during the Stone Age #fieldwork #kgalagadi. Inspired by a paper from Matt Lotter et al. 2024 in Southern African Field Archaeology
We had a lot of fun excavating a small rock shelter with a stunning view yesterday. Who said there are no rock shelters in the Kalahari? Might have been our leader @isotopesrule.bsky.social ... #kgalagadi #fieldwork π¦£πΊπ§πΌ
Even a single rock has a story to tell! Botswana's landscape holds so many stories!

A cape cobra and a pale chanting goshawk confronting each other, both on the ground
The goshawk is up in the air and the cobra's head is up and ready to strike
Back on the ground the two adversaries face each other
The goshawk is higher in the air, and the cobra trying to slither away, head still slightly raised
Pic of the day - a series of photos of one of my most memorable moments in our game reserves.
A Cape cobra and a young pale chanting goshawk in a duel of life and death.
The cobra eventually slid safely away into the long grass.

The sun rises over mustard-yellow sands. In the distance, a goshawk perches in a crown, surveying the land.
Awakeningβthe call of birds, the clatter of wings. The sky, pierced by orange-yellow light.
Soon, the spell will fade to blue-white.

Red dunes cover about 37,000 square kilometres of the Kgalagadi.
Interestingly, the red colour is due to iron-rich minerals in the dunes that have oxidized over time, forming rust that mixed with the sand.

Yellow-White and dried out grasses grow on a red-orange sand dune. The grasses and red sand at their feet are illuminated by a camera flash. The horizon shows a sunset, with red clouds, and the last light of day poking through patches of dusky sky in top left corner. Dark clouds are seen on the right bleeding into a dark red.
A blood-orange sunset bid the red dunes adieu.
