## Resource

Robbie is joined by return guest, Chris Comer, Director of Conservation at the Safari Club International Foundation from CIC in Vienna, Austria and the two talk about the fantastic research they are doing around large carnivores (specifically, leopards) across Southern Africa, to address the lack of data associated with these elusive creatures through a diverse, scaled, camera trap survey across multiple countries. If you have been paying attention lately, Safari Club International Foundation (SCIF) has really been stepping into some exciting conservation arenas and have a firm direction with respect to filling research gaps tied to large carnivores.
