Gugs Mhlungu chats with Tim Neary, resident CSI and conservationist, and Deon Cilliers, conservation manager for the Cheetah Outreach Trust, about recent findings of South Africa’s first Free-Roaming Cheetah Census.

The data revealed a far smaller wild cheetah population than previously estimated, and they explore what this means for cheetah conservation, the impact of human-related mortality, and the urgent steps needed to protect one of Africa’s most iconic predators.
