A one-and-a-half-year-old cheetah cub called Edie, born at the Wild Cat Conservation Centre near Sydney, Australia, is settling into her new home in South Africa’s Mziki Private Game Reserve. She’s the first ever Australian cheetah to be translocated to Africa, where she’ll live in the wild.
The translocation was a partnership between the Wild Cat Conservation Centre, WeWild Africa (sister NGO of The Aspinall Foundation), The Metapopulation Initiative and Mziki Private Game Reserve.

The sums of wildlife travel aren’t as simple as more tourists equals happier nature. How much did my visit really contribute to the conservation of Lady Liuwa and her habitat – and was that outweighed by carbon emissions from my flights? Did my presence disturb the animals’ natural behaviour more than it reduced the threat of poaching or benefited local communities?The question of whether wildlife travel is, on balance, good for wildlife is a complex one – and there’s no simple answer.
