"Chester Zoo Welcomes Rare Cheetah Brothers in Conservation Effort"

Chester Zoo has introduced two rare Northeast African cheetah brothers, Kendi and Tafari, to bolster conservation efforts against their impending extinction, with less than 500 left in the wild.

• The one-year-old Cheetah siblings, Kendi and Tafari, arrived at Chester Zoo from Yorkshire Wildlife Park to support conservation biology efforts for their endangered species.
• Northeast African cheetahs, native to the Horn of Africa, face severe population decline, with fewer than 500 individuals remaining in the wild, highlighting their status as an endangered species.
• Chester Zoo aims to create a breeding program for these big cats to enhance genetic diversity and help prevent their extinction amidst increasing threats to their habitat in regions like Somalia.
