Tsavo Cheetah Project
Worldwide, cheetah populations are estimated to be fewer than 7,000 individuals, with population strongholds existing in Southern and Eastern Africa. The cheetah population in Kenya is estimated to be fewer than 1000 individuals. Since its launch in 2011, the Tsavo Cheetah Project (TCP) has been working to fill a critical knowledge gap in cheetah conservation. In collaboration with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the Wildlife Research and Training Institute of Kenya (WRTI), among other groups, TCP monitors cheetah populations across the Tsavo region using camera traps, and movement tracking. By gathering data on cheetah density, demographics, and movement patterns, the project maps key connectivity pathways while identifying human-caused barriers that threaten species’ survival. See the project page for more information.
