| Tracking the Asiatic Cheetah | |
| 2007 Wildlife Conservation: 8-10 | |
Cheetah habitat in iran is among the most arid and unproductive anywhere in the species' range. our base camp (opposite, top) sits at the head of the relatively fertile eshkaft Valley in Bafgh Protected area. cheetah tracks (right) pepper the trails and dry riverbeds of the valley, indicating ideal sites to lay foot-snares. mana (page 10), the first asiatic cheetah ever captured for radio-collaring, sits unharmed in a snare (not visible, on his left foot). The process does not injure the cheetah. |
