National strategy for the conservation of cheetahs and African wild dogs in Kenya 2010

In the past both cheetahs and wild dogs were widely distributed across Kenya. However, over the years, due to human population increase that has led to loss of habitat, reduction in prey base, confl icts with people, diseases and poorly managed tourism, African wild dog and cheetah numbers have greatly reduced. In a bid to conserve the remaining population of the two species KWS and the national large carnivore task force spearheaded the process of formulating this national strategy in a workshop that was attended by the species specialists and conservation managers from governmental and non-governmental conservation organizations.

Cheetah Population and Habitat Viability Assessment 2009

  

The cheetah conservation community lacks the tools to effectively manage and cosnerve cheetahs in the unique conditions presented in South Africa. To address this need, a PHVA workshop was held from  17-21 April 2009 in Limpopo Province. The workshop was considered a vital prerequistite for the development of an effective metapopulation management strategy for cheetah in South Africa.

Proceedings of the First Tanzania Cheetah Conservation Action Plan Workshop

 

 This report covers the proceedings of the First Tanzanian Cheetah Workshop held in September 2005. The workshop brought together key stakeholders to assess existing information and establish a consensus on priorities for research and conservation of cheetah. Tanzania holds important populations of cheetah, including on eof the world's largest and most famous populations in the Serengeti ecosystem, and is a stronghold for this threatened species. All participants at the workshop recognised Tanzania's importance in the conservation of this species, but agreed that there was an urgent need for better information on the distribution of cheetah across the country, as well as more detailed data in specific regions.

Southern African Cheetah Conservation Planning Workshop, December 2005

On the 6 and 7 December 2005, 32 cat experts from several countries attended the Southern African Regional Cheetah Workshop, held at the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) near Otjiwarongo, Namibia. Yolan Friedman and Brenda Daly from the IUCN/SSC Conservation Breeding Specialist Group Southern Africa facilitated this first regional cheetah meeting of its kind, organised under the auspices of the Global Cheetah Forum. The Global Cheetah Forum was developed in 2001 to bring together researchers, conservationists and stakeholders worldwide to discuss solutions toward cheetah survival in the 21st century.
