  1. 📰 Surprise Endangered Leopard Recovery in West Africa

    🐆 Benin: Leopard density in Pendjari National Park tripled between 2017 and 2023 — a rare rebound for one of the region’s most threatened big cats.

    🛡️ Community‑based conservation was successful. Local rangers, anti‑poaching patrols, habitat restoration, water management, and efforts to rebuild prey species all contributed to the turnaround, even amid regional insecurity.

    🌍 This recovery underscores how giving wildlife space, and supporting communities who steward that space, can produce measurable gains for endangered species.

  25. Leopards in the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa are only about half the size of other African leopards. Whole-genome analysis identified about 90 genes that may be related to the size difference. Isolation of this population evidently occurred 20-24,000 years ago.

  30. A rare, for me, photo from South Africa. I usually spend my Africa time in Botswana. But for a few days back in 2017, I was just outside Kruger National Park.

    This lovely lady looks calm and commanding atop her termite mound, but she was actually quite annoyed by a hyena that had been hounding her for miles. She had climbed up there just to try and get some space.
