The July edition front cover features a pair of cheetah at Tintswalo Safari Lodge in the Manyeleti Game Reserve in Mpumalanga, South Africa (see page 11).
Classified as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the cheetah has suffered a substantial decline in its historic range, but thanks to the conservation efforts of private game reserves and wildlife sanctuaries, cheetah are being repopulated in their home ranges across eastern and southern Africa.
