Celebrating International Leopard Day 2024 at Benguela Cove
On 3 May 2024, we will join the global celebration of International Leopard Day. The initiative is dedicated to raising awareness about the conservation of leopard species worldwide. At Benguela Cove, conservation is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to support partnerships that protect these magnificent creatures and their natural habitats.
International Leopard Day and Cape Leopard Trust
International Leopard Day sheds light on the challenges facing leopard populations, including habitat loss, poaching, human-wildlife conflict and illegal trading. Through partnerships like ours with the Cape Leopard Trust, we work tirelessly to safeguard leopard habitats and promote their co-existence with people. By educating the public and fostering awareness, we contribute to the long-term survival of leopards in the Overberg and Kogelberg Biosphere.
