The Friends of the Kalahari Meerkat Project, a society founded in 2007, support the Kalahari Meerkat Project with funds raised from the general public.
By sharing information about the KMP meerkats – many of whom have starred in world famous Meerkat Manor series, but also other TV documentations worldwide throughout the years – with members (Friends), the society created a solid group of followers in the non-scientific area. With the contributions raised, the society co-funds a PhD thesis on meerkat tuberculosis, but also general operations of the field site.
