The Cheetah Conservation Fund is convening the inaugural meeting of an international advisory group to guide cheetah conservation initiatives.
With fewer than 7500 existing in only 9% of their historic range, cheetahs
are becoming ever more vulnerable to extinction. CCF wants experts from
around the world to join and take swift, decisive conservation action now.
The Global Cheetah Summit aims to ignite this process by bringing
together leaders to develop creative strategies to mitigate the
primary existential threats to the species, which include human-wildlife
conflict, loss of habitat, shrinking prey base, fragmentation, and illegal
wildlife trade.
