Description

The African Golden Cat is a shy, mysterious species of wild cat that lives in the equatorial forests of Africa.
Little was known about this species until Badru Mugerwa, a conservation biologist from Uganda started studying this cat around the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park with support from the local communities and the Uganda Wildlife Authority
Since then, he leads perhaps the only ongoing direct conservation work for this species in the world with innovative conservation initiatives that improve the lives of the local people and help protect the African Golden Cat.

Lions, tigers and leopards are just some of the 40 species of wild cat around the world that are under threat. Join me, as we travel to every corner of the globe to hear the incredible stories from the people and communities working to study and protect all species of wild cat. Wild cat conservation is more than just cats - by protecting cats, we save other species in their ecosystems, we help local communities in their habitats and we conserve huge swathes of precious land across the planet. Cats of the Wild is an original, not-for-profit podcast by Andy Varvel.
