Cheetahs make a comeback in Angola
Source: News24
Otjiwarongo - Scientists saw cheetahs in southern Angola for the first time in three decades since the now-ended civil war devastated the animal's habitat, a conservation group said on Wednesday.
After a three day survey in the arid Iona district of Angola bordering Namibia, cheetah specialist Laurie Marker reported the sighting of the fast, spotted, leopard-like wild feline.
Male cheetahs leave their droppings on trees as territorial markings, Marker reported to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, an international research organisation based in this northern Namibian town. "We found nine different marking trees," (s)he said. In one, (s)he saw cheetah dung. Then "two male cheetahs ran out. It was very exciting, there are cheetahs in Angola," (s)he said....

Efforts to save tiger have 'failed miserably': CITES
Source: Jakarta Globe
Thirty-five years of efforts to save tigers in the wild have been "failed miserably" and the great cat is walking ever closer to extinction, the head of the UN's wildlife trade body warned on Monday [3/15/2010].
"If we use tiger numbers as a performance indicator, then we must admit that we have failed miserably and that we are continuing to fail," said Willem Wijnstekers, secretary general of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES)."2010 is the Chinese Year of the Tiger and the International Year of Biodiversity. This must be the year in which we reverse the trend. If we don't, it will be to our everlasting shame," he said.
Delegates from nearly 150 nations have gathered in Doha, capital of Qatar, to vote on more than 40 proposals on restricting or banning trade in endangered animals and plants.
"These animals don't have much time left unless we really get our act together," said John Sellar, CITES's senior enforcement officer. "There is a real underground market going on here," he told journalists. Sellar added: "If we lose the tiger, that in many ways is an indicator of the health of our planet.

Exposed: Dark secret of farms where tigers are plundered for £185 wine
Source: MailOnline By: Richard Jones In Guilin, China - Last updated at 11:05 PM on 20th February 2010
Behind rusted bars, a skeletal male tiger lies panting on the filthy concrete floor of his cage, covered in sores and untreated wounds. His once-fearsome body is so emaciated it is little more than a pitiful pile of fur and bones.
Death is surely a matter of days away and can only come as a welcome release. Wardens at the wildlife park in southwest China say, indifferently, that they do not expect him to see the start of the Year of the Tiger which began last Sunday. 'What can we do?' a female park official asks a small huddle of visitors with a sigh and a casual shrug. 'He's dying, of course, but we have to keep feeding him until he does. It's against the law to kill tigers.'
Instead, it seems, they die slowly of neglect. In row after row of foul, cramped cages, more tigers lie alone, crippled and dying. One is hunched up against the side of its cage with its neck grotesquely deformed. Another, blinded in one eye, lies motionless...
