The cheetah is a truly unique wild cat, and its lifestyle is full of surprises and mysteries. Males live alone or in unions, females adopt other female’s cubs and raise litters together. Cheetahs swim across rapid rivers and survive in arid deserts, dense forests and rocky mountains. They travel over 20 km under cover of night and successfully hunt at any time of day, including in complete darkness. To escape predators, they climb trees or hide behind rangers’ and tourists’ cars. And how many more mysteries does the cheetah keep! In every region, every country, the cheetah shows miracles of adaptability, and at the same time experiences various challenges. Knowing a species better means knowing how to preserve it most effectively. This is why it is so important to study this vulnerable species wherever it remains. And on this day, we sincerely thank everyone who helps us study and preserve the cheetah: respected permitters and supportive partners, dedicated rangers and collaborative colleagues, knowledgeable guides and mindful community members, and all our dear sponsors and donors! All together we are doing an important work, preserving the cheetah for future generations.
