The
Cheetah Conservation Compendium
The Cheetah
Conservation Compendium is a communication tool aiming to enhance the
efficiency of the work of all people/institutions involved in the conservation
of the cheetah Acinonyx jubatus. Cooperation and knowledge sharing is
important and prevents duplication of efforts and thus avoids any waste of
resources or time, both of which are extremely valuable and scarce. The idea of
the establishment of a Cheetah Conservation Compendium was highly approved in a
recent meeting in Paris, where a conservation initiative for the cheetah in the
North African region was initiated by founding the partnership OGRAN (Observatoire du
Guépard en Région d’Afrique du Nord), mainly aimed to further the
conservation efforts in the francophone countries in North Africa. We are
convinced that the enthusiasm about the benefits of such a tool will spread
amongst the whole conservation community caring for this fascinating species. |
