December 2007 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.
