Cheetahs: Biology and Conservation reports on the science and
conservation of the cheetah. This volume demonstrates the
interdisciplinary nature of research and conservation efforts to
study and protect the cheetah. The book begins with chapters on the
evolution, genetics, physiology, ecology and behavior of the
species, as well as distribution reports from range countries.
These introductory chapters lead into discussions of the challenges
facing cheetah survival, including habitat loss, declining prey
base, human-wildlife conflict, illegal trade, and newly-emerging
threats, notably climate change. This book also focuses on
conservation strategies and solutions, including environmental
education and alternative livelihoods. Chapters on the role of
captive cheetahs to conservation and the long-term research of the
species are included, as are a brief discussion of the methods and
analyses used to study the cheetah. The book concludes with the
conservation status and future outlook of the species. Cheetahs:
Biology and Conservation is a valuable resource for the regional
and global communities of cheetah conservationists, researchers,
and academics. Although cheetah focussed the book provides
information relevant to the study of broader topics such as
wildlife conservation, captive breeding, habitat management,
conservation biology and animal behaviour. Cover photograph by
