The African Golden Cat is a shy, mysterious species of wild cat that lives in the equatorial forests of Africa.

Little was known about this species until Badru Mugerwa, a conservation biologist from Uganda started studying this cat around the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park with support from the local communities and the Uganda Wildlife Authority

Since then, he leads perhaps the only ongoing direct conservation work for this species in the world with innovative conservation initiatives that improve the lives of the local people and help protect the African Golden Cat.
