Durant, S.M., Groom, R., Ipavec, A., Mitchell, N. & Khalatbari, L. 2024. Acinonyx jubatus (amended version of 2023 assessment). The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2024: e.T219A259025524. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2024-1.RLTS.T219A259025524.en. Accessed on 17 July 2026.
Conservation Challenges Faced by this Species:
Okavango Delta, Botswana, and Otjiwarongo, Namibia
The expansion of livestock farming has caused much of the open savannah to be converted to shrublands with large fencing. This heavily restricts cheetah movement and prevents gene flow. It also leads to reduced prey availability, forcing cheetahs to hunt livestock, which increases human-wildlife conflict and can lead to retaliatory killing.
