The Botswana Predator Conservation Trust (BPCT) conducts wildlife behavior and communication research on free-ranging wildlife in Northern Botswana.
This project, called the BioBoundary Project, is the only such research project in the world focusing on deciphering the chemistry of natural scent mark signals - the 'language'- of free ranging populations of large predators, and using these signals, to influence their movement and behavior to prevent human-wildlife conflict, and ultimately, to promote coexistence between people and predators. Threatened focal species include lions, leopards and the African wild dog.
