Through the use of Suzi Eszterhas’ beautiful photographs and Laurie’s narration and nearly 40 years of experience you’ll gain a unique insight into what makes the cheetah so special and what can be done to save it from extinction.” — Charles Knowles, Executive Director and Co-Founder, Wildlife Conservation Network A Future for Cheetahs is a simple and elegant large-format book of incredible photography that provides insight on the past, present, and future of cheetahs in the wild. It features commentary by Dr. Laurie Marker, world renowned authority on cheetahs, and imagery captured by renowned wildlife photographer, Suzi Eszterhas.

Laurie has devoted her life to learning about the cheetah and using her knowledge to assure the cheetah as a species survives to future generations. Readers of A Future for Cheetahs are not only getting a treasure trove of remarkable images of the cheetah, but also the extraordinary story of what a boots-on-the-ground conservationist is doing to save it from extinction, in her own words.” —Jeff Corwin, Television personality and conservationist “A Future for Cheetahs is a gorgeous and significant book. Amazing and elegant photographs by world-class photographer Suzi Eszterhas are mixed with a haunting narrative of the cheetah’s march for survival penned by guardian angel of the cheetah, Laurie Marker. Any curious world citizen or committed conservationist needs to ingest this book. All will enjoy the wonder and majesty of evolution’s most enriching and skillful creation, the African cheetah, through the lens and words of incomparable witnesses in the plight of a fragile beautiful species.” —Stephen J O’Brien, Author Tears of the Cheetah and Other Tales from the Genetic Frontier

Book excerpt: Cheetahs: Biology and Conservation reports on the science and conservation of the cheetah. This volume demonstrates the interdisciplinary nature of research and conservation efforts to study and protect the cheetah. The book begins with chapters on the evolution, genetics, physiology, ecology and behavior of the species, as well as distribution reports from range countries. These introductory chapters lead into discussions of the challenges facing cheetah survival, including habitat loss, declining prey base, human-wildlife conflict, illegal trade, and newly-emerging threats, notably climate change. This book also focuses on conservation strategies and solutions, including environmental education and alternative livelihoods. Chapters on the role of captive cheetahs to conservation and the long-term research of the species are included, as are a brief discussion of the methods and analyses used to study the cheetah. The book concludes with the conservation status and future outlook of the species. Cheetahs: Biology and Conservation is a valuable resource for the regional and global communities of cheetah conservationists, researchers, and academics. Although cheetah focussed the book provides information relevant to the study of broader topics such as wildlife conservation, captive breeding, habitat management, conservation biology and animal behaviour.
