Good to see our @KalahariProject vehicle looking new again after a recent mishap with a herd of African buffalo. The challenges of field research!

Our relationship with the natural world is complex, says @TheLifeofMarcus. #Meerkats, although not #endangered, help to protect other species; small mammal research is essential for understanding the #Kalahari #ecosystem. Read more: l8r.it/OnrH #conservation

Pangolins are elusive and predominantly #nocturnal animals, making it challenging to study them. Read these key findings from @Wendz_222 research into #pangolin #ecology and physiology at Tswalu: l8r.it/NZwO

Tswalu guests spent a morning tracking Cape cobras with researcher Thilo Beck on the reserve. He uses radio telemetry to locate chipped study specimens. Read more about his thermal ecology research: l8r.it/wfVH

A growing concern: climate change, bush encroachment, and the reptiles that live it

The ground pangolin has been the subject of climate change-focused research under @TswaluFdn @KalahariProject (KEEP). If pangolins or their prey cannot adapt to hotter, drier climatic conditions they face the risk of extinction.

KEEP pangolin researchers @WendZ_222 and Valery Phakoago are attending the 2nd International Pangolin Conference this week in @SANParksKNP! A great opportunity to network and learn more about pangolin conservation efforts.

Sighting a rare pangolin is top of the bucket list for many tourists on safari. We support the Kalahari Endangered Ecosystem Project (KEEP), together with the Tswalu Foundation.

It’s so cool to have @KalahariProject and four of my PhD students (one in her other role as a vet) featured in the August issue of National Geographic. A great story with incredible photography and artwork. @NatGeo @Tswalu @Suzuki_ZA

On-going research by Valery Phakoago (left), and Dr Wendy Panaino (right), forms part of a bigger programme called the Kalahari Endangered Ecosystem Project (KEEP). tswalu.com/studying-the-impa… #Research #WomensDay #Pangolin #Endangered #Wildlife #Conservation

@NatGeoMag August issue has dropped and behind that iconic cover is a huge feature about climate change research at Tswalu Kalahari, with images by @tompeschak and words by @leoniejoubert l8r.it/eYQM #Sustainablity #WildlifeConservation #ClimateChange #Endangered

Valery Phakoago is doing her PhD on the dispersal of ground pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) at @Tswalu, where the use of telemetry is vital for keeping track of study animals. Read more about Valery's journey:
