IZW Cheetah Research Project
This site is meant to be the divulgation channel of the Cheetah Research Project in Namibia. Feel free to like and share it. Thanks!
The Cheetah Research Project from the IZW was established since 2002 and focuses on the world’s largest remaining free-ranging cheetah population in Namibia which is considered as the key population for the survival of the species. The aim of Cheetah Research Project is to shed light into the cheetah’s biology, ecology and factors affecting the health status in order to provide a scientific basis for the sustainable protection of this population.
Our research for conservation is often aided by small but crucial technological improvements such as the silent triggers for our cheetah traps. In this film, Joerg Melzheimer talks with the team of SICK Sensor Intelligence about the Cheetah Research Project's work, the farmer-cheetah conflict and improving the traps!

Will Iran finally grant the conservationists their legal rights? The last week has seen the release of thousands of prisoners in Iran, following the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s approval of a general pardon and commutation of sentences earlier this mo…
