The cheetah is Africa’s most endangered big cat. It is an iconic species, admired in nearly every culture as the very definition of speed. But unless we are willing to act quickly to save it, the cheetah could face extinction.

Founded in Namibia in 1990, Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) is the global leader in research and conservation of cheetahs. CCF is dedicated to saving the cheetah in the wild. 

The vast majority of wild cheetahs are outside protected areas, in areas populated by humans. Saving this magnificent animal from extinction requires innovative conservation methods that address the welfare of both cheetah and human populations over large landscapes. CCF has developed a set of integrated programs that work together to achieve this objective. CCF’s programs have effectively stabilized and even increased the wild cheetah population in Namibia.

CCF is an international non-profit organization headquartered in Namibia, with operations in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and partner organizations in several other nations. Learn more about CCF or donate today at www.cheetah.org. 

The race is on to save the cheetah. Together, we can win it.
