My name is Alex Braczkowski and I'm a big cat biologist from Kwazulu-Natal, SA. I have filmed, photographed and carried out studies on African lions, leopards, jaguars, and caracals across the globe. In 2014 I graduated from the University of Oxford with a Masters degree examining aspects surrounding the hunting of leopards in Africa. Since leaving Oxford I have worked for Steve Winter, National Geographic and partnered with several NGO’s to deliver film, science and conservation outputs. I am currently finishing my PhD at the University of Queensland on lions and other carnivores in Uganda. Cover photo: Steve Winter.

Story
I believe if the last of Africa's big cats are to be saved, it will only happen through locally led projects and initiatives.

Cat conservation needs the same synergy we see in lion prides. Strength in numbers and a unity of minds will save Africa’s last big cats.

Writing for and talking to kids about conservation is my passion. They're the future, and the hope for the protection of Africa's cats and wildlife. There's purity when you look into a child's eyes - and if you're honest they'll give you their time.

Collaboration and partnership are two of my core values. I will work with anyone interested in saving the worlds big cats and the communities living alongside them.
