+March 4, 2024 – A new report by [[TRAFFIC]], a non-governmental organisation working on wildlife trade issues reveals the extent and impact of the online trade in live cheetahs which are classified as Vulnerable by the [[IUCN]] Red List. The report is based on a six-month survey that found evidence of online trade in live cheetahs or display of live cheetahs as pets, using various platforms and languages.
 According to the report, the online trade in live cheetahs poses a serious threat to the conservation of the species, which has an estimated 6,500 mature individuals remaining in the wild. Cheetahs face threats such as habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict, and exploitation of wild individuals through trade could have a detrimental effect on the viability of the global population.
