I’ve always been passionate about animals and wildlife since childhood and drawing/painting them has enabled me to express that love. Having been lucky enough to visit South Africa several times and experience the amazing diversity of species, it made me more aware of how vitally important it is that we work together to preserve and protect this fragile world and the incredible wildlife within it. I am particularly drawn to the big cats as I’m in total awe of their beauty, athleticism and determination to survive”
The Cheetah is assessed as Vulnerable under criterion A4b based on a population size reduction of 37% (21–51%) over three generations (approximately 15 years) between 2017 and 2032 (A4b) and criterion C1 based on a global population size (tentatively estimated at 6,500 mature individuals) and a projected averaged continuing decline (C1).
Data from a comprehensive national assessment in Zimbabwe, the only large area that includes protected and unprotected landscapes with reliable population estimates from two points in time, indicates a decline of 85% over 15 years.
The population projections conducted by Durant et al. (2017) show that if Cheetah outside protected areas are subject to high levels of threat, then the global Cheetah population may decline by more than 50% over the next 15 years (three Cheetah generations), and thus the Cheetah may be close to qualifying as EN under criterion A3. High levels of threat are expected on the African continent since human populations in many Cheetah range states are predicted to double over the next few decades, with leading to increased pressures on natural resources (United Nations 2017). Preventing a steep decline in Cheetah populations in the face of an ongoing period of rapid growth in Africa’s human population over the next few decades will be the most serious challenge for the conservation of this species.
Given the evidence of ongoing and increasing threats to Cheetah posed by rapid anthropogenic change across the species range, we recommend that the Cheetah is a species under observation and its threat status is closely monitored, with a reassessment after a minimum three-year period or as soon as new information emerges.
