SA cheetahs moved to Zambia as conservationists warn of ‘silent crisis’

While lions, elephants and rhinos dominate conservation headlines, cheetahs have been quietly disappearing from Africa’s landscapes. Now, six South African cheetahs have been moved to Zambia in an ambitious bid to restore the species to Zambia’s Greater Luangwa Ecosystem, where it was last recorded in 1998 after disappearing from the landscape more than 30 years ago.
