Resumen

MARNEWICK, Kelly A.; SOMERS, Michael J.; VENTER, Jan A.  y  KERLEY, Graham I.H.. Are we sinking African cheetahs in India?. S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2023, vol.119, n.7-8, pp.1-3. ISSN 1996-7489.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2023/15617.

SIGNIFICANCE: The current initiative to export African cheetahs to India has a limited scientific basis, placing the Asian subspecies and the translocated animals at risk. There is no evidence that this will benefit African cheetah conservation. We call for a globally coordinated approach to cheetah conservation, based on sound science
