Namibia has an estimated population of 2,000 cheetah making it the largest population of cheetah in the world. They are found throughout Namibia including marginal desert environments and on commercial farmland, at low density. Cheetahs are considered a menace by stock and game farmers and are vulnerable to retaliatory killing. They have large home ranges. In the north west conservancies, increasing wildlife numbers have resulted in a thriving cheetah population that is also increasingly responsible for incidents of livestock depredation.
