London, Nov. 2, 2017 (AltAfrika)-Malawi is celebrating a wildlife landmark with the birth of two furry newborn cheetah cubs to the Liwonde National Park, a milestone for the country’s dwindling population.

Africa parks released a post on Instagram introducing to the world the first sighting of the cubs born in Malawi in over 20 years. The cubs were born to one of the four cheetahs that were relocated to the park earlier in 2017 and it has been reported by Liwonde that there are two cubs.

The cubs were befitting of their birthday as they were born on Mother’s Day in Malawi on 15 October. The Liwonde National Park has not seen a cheetah birth in over 100 years and marks it as a turning point for the species population in Malawi and the world.

Not only are these little cubs cute but they are also a movement forward for the cheetah in Africa.

We are excited to share the good news that the first cheetah cubs have been born in Liwonde National Park in Malawi! The cubs were born to one of the four cheetahs translocated to the park in May this year. Their arrival marked the return of the species to Malawi for the first time in 20 years, and for the first time in 100 years for Liwonde!! Decades of habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict and poaching severely reduced the nation’s predator populations, entirely eradicating cheetahs, a species threatened with extinction in Africa. The reintroduction of the cheetah is historic for the country and a new era for the park, where the return of large predators holds great optimism for the restoration of the parks’ natural system and the conservation of this highly vulnerable species for the country. Join with us in sharing the good news and in welcoming these little cubs to the world, we’re so glad you’re here.  Sievert #GoodNews #Bigcats #AfricanParks #Malawi #Liwonde#Wildlife #Cheetah #CubsAccording to Africa Parks, the cause behind the decline in the predator population in the Malawi has been due to loss of habitat, human and wildlife conflict and poaching. Cheetah Outreach has recorded a mere 7 100 cheetahs left in the African wild and 4 190 in Southern Africa. The species is endangered and decreasing in numbers. The reintroduction of the predator species in Malawi has a positive impact on creating a functioning and balance ecosystem to thrive for all species of wildlife.

Bearing to the news of the cheetah cubs being born in Liwonde, there is hope that re-population through rehabilitation facilities will positively impact the number of cheetahs in the world
