Status
and Conservation Needs of Cheetahs in Southern Africa
Cheetah conservation
activities outside of protected areas have mostly taken
place in the southern African region where a network
of researchers and conservationists has developed. In
December 2005, the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia
hosted the first Southern African Regional Cheetah Workshop
where the idea for this special issue of Cat News was
developed. The workshop brought together 32 cheetah
researchers and conservationists from six countries.
This special issue of
Cat News highlights the accomplishments in cheetah conservation
in the southern African region over the past few years
and prioritizes research and conservation objectives
for the future.

Status
and Conservation of the Leopard in the Caucasus
The leopard in the
Caucasus is critically endangered; only some small and isolated population
nuclei remain in the whole ecoregion. To save the survival of the species in
the Caucasus, urgent conservation actions are needed. As a preparation of a
strategic planing workshop, a special issue of Cat News
was produced where the present knowledge on the ecology,
the status and distribution of the leopard, as well as
recent activites for its conservation in the Caucasus
ecoregion are summarized. Additionally, a habitat
model provides guidance for future activites.
In the last chapter the general conditions for the conservation
of the leopard are presented.
