Monitoring and evaluating the density and composition of stray cat populations in rural areas

Hamaarag operates a monitoring program which evaluates the density and composition of stray cat populations in rural areas, as part of the call for “Cat Monitoring Research” funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The goals of the project are: determining the relationships between the density and composition of stray cat populations and their proximity to settlements; determining the change in the density and composition of stray cat populations over time, and in accordance with the population management activities undertaken, and with the available food sources; determining the relationship between the density and composition of stray cat populations and the diversity and activity of other wild animals.
