Who are we and how did CARACAL get started?
CARACAL is a field based non-governmental organization, which was started in 2001 in recognition of the need to integrate traditional and scientific understanding of natural resources and promote partnership between Government and local communities in natural resource management. Our programs focus on mitigation of human wildlife conflict, community based monitoring of natural resources and strengthening of CBNRM benefit streams and governance for improved rural livelihoods. CARACAL is the only indigenous conservation and rural development NGO in the Chobe Linyanti Kwando Wetlands within the Zambezi Basin.
We work throughout Northern Botswana with a program focus in Chobe District in the Chobe Linyanti Kwando Wetlands System.
Chobe Linyanti Kwando Wetlands System
The Chobe Linyanti Kwando wetlands system is located in the Zambezi Basin and spans the international border between Namibia and Botswana covering more 120,000 hectares (Latitudes 170 50' - 180 28' S and Longitudes 230 25' - 250 05' E). It is a mosaic of perennial and temporary riverine wetlands, interspersed with palustrine wetlands.
