The National Center for Wildlife (NCW) recently announced a significant achievement in wildlife conservation with the birth of four cheetah cubs. This milestone coincided with the launch of the National Cheetah Conservation Strategy, led by Eng. Abdulrahman AlFadley, Minister of Environment, Water, and Agriculture. Dr. Mohammed Qurban, CEO of the NCW, described this event as a pivotal achievement in conservation efforts. The strategy aims to ensure a sustainable future for wild cheetahs within their natural habitats in Saudi Arabia. This development is especially significant as it marks the return of cheetahs to the Arabian Peninsula after over four decades, with the recent discovery of ancient cheetah mummies in northern Saudi Arabia further highlighting the region’s historical significance as a cheetah habitat.

The National Cheetah Conservation Strategy is aligned with international best practices and focuses on successful captive breeding, strategic site selection, and involving local communities in conservation efforts. The strategy includes rigorous monitoring to ensure the sustainability of reintroduced cheetah populations. It is implemented in phases, starting with breeding, habitat conservation, and environmental assessment, followed by experimental releases of captive-bred cheetahs and broader reintroduction efforts. This approach addresses the challenges of cheetah conservation globally, where only a small percentage of wild-born cheetahs successfully breed in captivity. The discovery of cheetah mummies dating back to 4,000 to 120 years ago, along with ongoing genetic analysis, supports the NCW’s efforts in breeding and reintroduction, highlighting Saudi Arabia’s commitment to biodiversity and wildlife conservation.

The birth of the cheetah cubs and the launch of the National Cheetah Conservation Strategy signify a significant step forward in conservation efforts in Saudi Arabia. The strategy aims to secure a sustainable future for wild cheetahs within their natural habitats, with a focus on successful captive breeding, strategic site selection, and engaging local communities in conservation efforts. This initiative is crucial as it marks the return of cheetahs to the Arabian Peninsula after an absence of more than four decades. The recent discovery of ancient cheetah mummies in northern Saudi Arabia further underscores the region’s historical significance as a habitat for cheetahs and supports the NCW’s efforts in breeding and reintroduction.

It is essential to implement a comprehensive strategy like the National Cheetah Conservation Strategy to address the challenges of cheetah conservation effectively. The strategy is designed in line with international best practices and includes measures such as rigorous monitoring to ensure the sustainability of reintroduced cheetah populations. The phased approach of the strategy, starting with breeding, habitat conservation, and environmental assessment, followed by experimental releases of captive-bred cheetahs and broader reintroduction efforts, is crucial for the successful conservation of cheetahs in Saudi Arabia. With the ongoing genetic analysis of cheetah mummies and the commitment to biodiversity and wildlife conservation, Saudi Arabia is making significant strides in conservation efforts and setting an example for other regions.

The birth of four cheetah cubs, along with the official rollout of the National Cheetah Conservation Strategy, is a significant achievement for the National Center for Wildlife in Saudi Arabia.
