Cheetah Population in Namibia: ~1,500 (2022 Estimate)

As of 2022, Namibia hosts an estimated 1,500 cheetahs—about 20% of the global population (~7,500). Namibia's success stems from:

• Vast protected landscapes (Namib-Naukluft, Etosha, conservancies).
• Community-based conservation (conservancies manage wildlife on communal land).
• Farmer-predator conflict mitigation programs.

Namibia is a global stronghold for this endangered species.
