Generally, governments need to display statements specifically highlighting the cheetah in the fight against wildlife trafficking and keep them in public view – e.g. posters in national parks and all wildlife offices – to keep officers and the public aware of the

threat to the species. Widespread reach of Zonal Anti-poaching Units conducting road blocks / vehicle checks

on access roads to and from cheetah populations / protected areas.

Zambia

Despite illegal cheetah trade not being recorded in the recent past in the country, Zambia will continue with surveillance missions within the country and information

sharing with other countries within Southern African Development Community, Lusaka Agreement Task Force, CITES and other cooperating partners and Agencies.

Zambia will create a wildlife offenders database which will help track and profile wildlife criminals. This measure will help understand the operations of criminals

Kuwait Illegal trade in cheetah by internet and social media.

Latvia

Main problem is insufficient number of enforcement inspectors that could focus primary on issues related to illegal trade in endangered species both in internal market and on

national borders. Special training for these inspectors is crucial to facilitate CITES enforcement in regard to illegal trade in endangered species. / Lack of specially trained

dogs to detect specimens of endangered species is also amongst the main problems.

Mali

1. training management authority staff, support services (customs, police), craftsmen and communities living around protected areas on concealment methods;

2. equipping officers with scanning equipment; 3. helping the country with the restocking of cheetah’s previous habitat.

Slovakia No

Somalia No

South Africa Illegal trade is not always detected and to do reactive investigations are difficult if no

intelligence is available.

Spain We have experienced a lack of uniformity regarding the trophy parts that must be labeled (skull/skin), thus we would recommend the issuing of a Conference Resolution to clarify

how to mark cheetahs.

Sudan

1-the supply of 4 wheel vehicles to follow smuggled skins from Ethiopia , Central Africa ,Republic of South Sudan

2- Regular training courses between Sudan and neighbouring countries 3- Establishment of a centre for managing and studying spotted cats skins to know their

origin and region as the case with ivory.

Uganda The instability in South Sudan that neighbours the only home range of cheetahs in Uganda makes it difficult to engage in collaborative mechanisms with South Sudan to protect and

conserve the cheetah.


It should be noted that when it comes to illegal trade in live cheetahs or illegal trade in cheetah parts and derivatives in United Arab Emirates, the issue should be looked at on international level, i.e. the source and consumer countries, which play a major role on illegal trade in cheetah’s. therefore, a further communication and collaboration with

neighbouring countries to tackle the issue.

United Republic of

Tanzania

Identification challenges where enforcement official find difficulty in differentiating cheetah from leopard and serval cat skins pieces – highlighted in the customs training

conducted in 2014. Lack of funds for widespread and on-going enforcement and training. There is a concern for conducting similar training for Railways staff but lack of funds is the hindrance factor.

Country Elaboration

Greece

There has been no specific for cheetah specimens’ regulation. Instead, the national law (No 2637/1998 amending Law Decree No. 86/1969) provides for a) return or re-export of confiscated specimens to the Sate of their origin or b) clearance sale or c) disposal for storage and care.// As long as Article 8 (1) of EU Regulation No 338/97 prohibits the commercial use of Annex A (such as cheetah) specimens, please note

that for specimens of cheetah (Appendix-I) the above option b) does not apply.

Kenya No details provided.

Kuwait In cooperation with Public Authority of Agriculture and fish resources Affairs the

seized cheetahs goes to Kuwait zoo.

Latvia

One procedure is in force for disposal of confiscated CITES specimens. In national law facilities responsible for handling of live CITES animals are determined. Regarding parts and derivates of CITES species Management Authority can decide whether specimen could be used for awareness raising activities or should be destroyed.

Mali No

Saudi Arabia Seized or confiscated live cheetah specimens are kept at The National Wildlife

Research Center (NWRC), The King Khalid Wildlife Research Centre (KKWRC) and Riyadh Zoo

Slovakia

We haven’t any special procedures for cheetah specimens, but generally: state authorities are administrators of seized/confiscated specimens of CITES species. Live animals are placed to Rescue Centre in ZOO which is in state property, live plants are

placed in State Nature Conservancy (Slovak CITES Scientific Authority). Parts and derivatives are under the administration the enforcement authority which has

seized/confiscated them.

Somalia No

South Africa The managing, storing or disposing of seized or confiscated specimens is done in terms of NEMBA’s TOPS and CITES Regulations and the Criminal Procedures Act


48


Country Elaboration

Spain Royal Decree 1333/2006 of 21 Nov regarding the disposal of confiscated endangered species specimens of both flora and fauna protected through trade controls provides

for general regulations for all specimens.

Sudan No

Uganda No


Depending on each case, the procedures varies.


No specific rescue centre or holding facilities in place for live captured of cheetah. Live specimens of all wildlife species including cheetah are entrusted to licenced Zoo and ranches which have signed an MoU with the Wildlife Division or returned to the wild. Other specimens are stored in the main trophy store at the Wildlife Division, Tanzania

National Park (TANAPA) and Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority.


Seizures and forfeiture regulations govern how we manage, store and dispose of seized material and can be found in our regulations at 50 CFR Part 12.

Yemen No

Zambia Zambia has holding facility for live wildlife pending release into the wild or in captive

facilities. Zambia also has the facilities for storing dead specimens.

Zimbabwe

All live cheetahs and cheetah parts and derivates are confiscated by the state through the Parks and Wildlife Management Authority. Live cheetahs will be released back into

the wild depending on the condition of the cheetah. Parts and derivates are permanently stored in the central stores for all animal skins.

Although there has been no incident till now of confiscating illegally traded live cheetahs in Greece, and despite the fact that if this had happened we could allocate

the seized specimens for storage and care in an appropriate rescue centre here in Greece (Attica Zoological Park), we dare say that the establishment of suitable

facilities for handling live cheetahs and other wild big animal species are required.

Kenya The existing wildlife captive facility (the KWS orphanages in Nairobi and Kisumu) have

inadequate capacity (space, appropriate structures) for stress free hosting of confiscated live cheetahs.

Country Details

Austria Vienna Zoo - Non

commercial purpose - 6 individuals

Scientific Zoos in Austria ( member of OZO- Austrian Zoo Organization) are member of EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquaria) and participating in the cheetah EEP breeding program. That means that the studbook keeper Lars Versteege (Beekse Bergen, NL) and his Committee is coordinating which zoo is receiving and exchanging individuals. Vienna was importing 2 individuals from South Africa in 2013 from the breeding station The Anne van Dyk Cheetah Centre in Pretoria, where breeding has been ongoing since decades. Their animals are included in the international cheetah studbook. Harald Schwammer (Vienna Zoo) had been visiting this place several times for examining the rearing conditions. The important for supporting the European bloodlines was agreed by the studbook keeper.

Greece

Attica Zoological Park/ Non commercial (EEP

recommendations)/ 3 ( 1 male and 2 females)

As a member of EAZA, Attica Zoological Park applies EEP recommendations and such captive bred animals can be held

in Attica zoo. More specifically the cheetahs that Attica Zoological Park hosts are captive born from Boras zoo in

Sweden and Nuremberg in Germany.

Attached information

The Scientific Authority in South Africa did a non-detriment finding for Cheetah in South Africa (has not been published yet, still awaiting signature from Minister hopefully it will be implemented within the next 3 months) and recommended

that the following measures should be introduced to improve the management of captive-bred cheetahs and to ensure that

no wild specimens are traded as “captive-bred”. Once the provincial Management Authority has confirmed that these

measures are in place, trade can be allowed from those facilities meeting all requirements.

i) all captive-bred cheetah must be recorded in the national cheetah studbook and breeders must comply with all the requirements of the studbook such as keeping records of

breeding and mortality (dates of births and deaths, with blood or tissue samples taken from dead animals for DNA

fingerprinting); ii) all cheetah in captivity must be individually identifiable

through identification photographs and micro-chips and DNA fingerprints;

iii) all specimens to be exported internationally must first be verified as offspring of captive-bred parents through DNA

analyses; iv) any facility exporting internationally must be registered

with the Management Authority in compliance with the TOPS and CITES regulations;

v) criteria for CITES and TOPS registered cheetah breeding facilities must be developed within 3 months of the

publication of this NDF.

Additionally if any commercial facilities are involved, the AZA’s policy further states that: “Institutions dealing with

commercial collectors must determine that the collectors are properly permitted to conduct legal collections of

animals (including aquatic animals) from the wild. Explanation: The institution must be proactive in ensuring that any

commercial collectors utilized are properly permitted to conduct legal collections of animals from the wild.”
