CLEAN : Race to save the cheetah as study reveals extinction threat

The video discusses the challenges faced by cheetahs, including habitat loss, vulnerability to predation, and issues with illegal trade. Cheetahs are particularly vulnerable due to their specific habitat needs and smaller size compared to other big cats. Despite their low numbers, they are only listed as vulnerable, partly due to difficulties in conducting research. Southern Africa remains a stronghold for cheetahs, but regional extinction is a concern if conservation efforts are not strengthened.

What challenges do researchers face when studying cheetahs in the wild?

What is the current status of cheetah populations in southern Africa compared to other regions?
