The majority of the country is flat with gentle undulations. Along the eastern margin the land rises above 1,200 m, which is adjacent to the Limpopo drainage system. The Limpopo valley gradually descends from 900 m in the south to 500 m at the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers. The landlocked country borders Namibia to the west and northwest, Zambia to the north, Zimbabwe to the northeast, and South Africa to the east and south. In the northwest the Okavango River drains inland into an extensive swamp area. In the southwest, the Kalahari Desert is characterized by a vegetation composition of scrub and grasses with almost no surface water. Pans hold water for some time after the rains.

I am also interested in the philosophical and methodological evolution of the discipline. My research program currently centres on urbanization in Botswana , and is comprised of three distinct yet interrelated focal points. The first explores human-environment relations through topics such as urban agriculture and animal geography. The second investigates emerging economic and political spaces in the urban context, largely from a gender perspective. The third addresses issues related to HIV/AIDS. Please contact me regarding potential graduate student opportunities. Professional Activities I have an on-going collaborative relationship with the Government of Botswana, through which I serve as an advisor on urban agriculture and gender issues, and I recently facilitated the launch of the Botswana Policy Initiative on (Peri-)Urban Agriculture in June 2004. I am a member of the Gender Advisory Group for the Resource Centre for Urban Agriculture and Forestry (RUAF) and a Session Leader for the upcoming World Urban Forum in Vancouver 2006.

Cheetah Conservation Botswana Organisations Involved Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation – is a non-governmental organisation promoting wildlife conservation, the propagation of rare and endangered species and environmental education for the children of Botswana. It runs Mokolodi Nature Reserve, where the main base of CCB resides. This 7000 ha reserve is home to a wide variety of African wildlife. It also has a successful white rhino breeding project. Over 12,000 school children visit the reserve each year and income from tourism subsidises disadvantaged schools. This reserve is their main site for administration, fundraising and education. This is where you will come for your introduction to the bush and to meet the species you will be studying. At Mokolodi they have two hand raised cheetahs, which are completely tame. Here you will see what beautiful, gentle creatures cheetahs really are and have a once in a lifetime close-up encounter with these magnificent predators.
