A cheetah can accelerate to 114kph in about three seconds, quicker than most sports cars. The Southern African cheetah lives mainly in the lowland areas and deserts of the Kalahari, the savannahs of Okavango Delta, and the grasslands of the Transvaal region in South Africa.In Namibia, cheetahs are mostly found in farmlands. Despite the Mara's favourable conditions, however, cheetah numbers appear to be falling. Similarly cheetahs tend to live at altitudes above sea level and sometimes occupy sparsely vegetated mountains.

Perhaps this disaster was a severe climate change associated with the tailing-off of the last Ice Age. With India’s own cheetahs vanishing, a plea for this had been filed by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), seeking permission to introduce the African cheetah from Namibia.

In fact, since the summit will be in New York, we need to utilize our voices to make sure our message is heard loud and clear by world leaders in September. The wild cheetahs of North America and Europe went extinct. Change in climate has made the survival of the gazelle difficult to survive and as a result, the cheetah has had to switch to other diets, also affecting its ability to reproduce effectively. Forests contribute to about one-sixth of global carbon emissions when cleared, overused, or degraded. It usually takes a Cheetahs have lean bodies, long legs, a large heart and expansive lungs.

The African cheetah is to be introduced from Namibia. Having the Climate Change Summit in the New York UN Headquarters is extremely important for the American climate action movement. Thorny plants have begun to smother grasslands, transforming rangeland into impenetrable thicket – … Climate change is, by definition, a slow-moving, centuries-long problem whose impact on …

The abundant prey means that male cheetahs rarely range beyond 20sq km, and females 80-100sq km. Climate change threats are growing in Africa and across the world, and Africa’s forests can be a part of the solution. The Southeast African cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus) is the nominate cheetah subspecies native to East and Southern Africa.

Cheetahs' own genes also pose a challenge to their continued survival.

Climate change poses new risks that lie outside our range of experience, and its potential to affect the fundamental social, economic, ecological, and physical systems of communities is already apparent. Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) populations have dramatically declined due to habitat loss and fragmentation, declining prey base, conflict with livestock and farmed game, and illegal trade. ". Illegal trade of cheetahs also challenges the survival of this big cat with live cheetahs being caught and traded into the pet trade or used for their skin. 11.
