| Regional conservation strategy for the cheetah and African wild dog in Southern Africa - revised and updated August 2015 | |
| 2015 Full Book | |
The Regional Conservation Strategy presented in this document is a revised and updated version of the first strategy, developed in 2007 (IUCN/SSC, 2007). The strategic planning process has been conducted as a collaboration between national wildlife authorities across southern Africa, the Range Wide Conservation Program for Cheetah and African Wild Dogs (RWCP) and the Cat and Canid Specialist Groups of the IUCN/SSC. The first Regional Conservation Strategy (IUCN/SSC, 2007) was developed after a workshop in Botswana in December 2007, attended by 38 participants, including representatives from all eight southern African range states. The workshop followed the now recognized IUCN strategic planning framework and produced a regional strategy, designed to foster the development of National Action Plans in each range state. At a meeting near Johannesburg in August 2015, the Regional Conservation Strategy for Southern Africa was revised and updated (see Chapter 6). The strategic plan for the species' conservation in southern Africa recognizes the need to (i) develop capacity in all aspects of cheetah and wild dog conservation in the region; (ii) improve knowledge on the conservation of both species; (iii) ensure that information relevant to both species is disseminated to stakeholders; (iv) minimise conflict and promote coexistence between cheetah, wild dog and people; (v) minimise the adverse effects of land development and implement best land use practice for cheetah and wild dog; (vi) obtain political commitment to cheetah and wild dog conservation; (vii) review and harmonise existing legislation and policy affecting cheetah and wild dog conservation; and (viii) facilitate the development and implementation of national conservation plans for both species. |
