During preliminary research for a survey to determine the species that inhabit the Mpanga Central Forest Reserve in Uganda, the African golden cat Caracal aurata has been recorded with a camera trap. This is the first record of the African golden cat in this reserve and the region of Central Uganda. More research on the population size, threats, conservation needs, and distribution is recommended.

Identifying biodiversity is very important, as it helps to monitor species and protect them. That is how we discovered the African golden cat during our research in the Mpanga Central Forest Reserve, Uganda. This species had never been observed before in Central Uganda, a region which is 1,5x bigger than the Netherlands. The nearest population of the African golden cat is located more than 200km away from the Mpanga Central Forest Reserve.
