| A pilot GPS study on a single male cheetah in Zimbabwe | |
| 2007 Cat News (47): 17-19 | |
While considered to be a threatened species globally following historic declines in numbers and distribution (Cat Specialist Group 2002), the cheetah_ Acinonyx jubatus_ has a paradoxical status in Zimbabwe. Here, the cheetah is a protected species (DNPWLM 1991), but it is also perceived to be a 'problem' predator blamed for livestock losses on farmland (Masulani 1999, Taylor 1999). Consequently, many landowners have sought to remove animals from their properties, replicating the treatment of cheetah in other parts of their range (Marker et al. 2003). |
