Outreach spay & neuter campaign
MAWS was originally founded with a focus on Botswana's domestic animal population, but in 2008 we became involved with the Botswana Predator Conservation Trust (BPCT).
BPCT brought to our attention the threat that diseased domestic animals pose to Botswana's wildlife, and provides funding to us that is specifically for use in areas close to wildlife reserves or where there are concentrations of endangered predators and other wildlife species.
The result of this funding is our Outreach Campaign. This has enabled us to travel to areas beyond Maun where we can continue our vital sterilisation and vaccination campaign. This reduces the threat of disease transmission to the wildlife population - a critical issue for anyone who cares about wildlife or works in the safari industry - and improves the lives of the domestic animals at the same time.
