The Cheetah Conservation Fund
Articles about the work of The Cheetah Conservation Fund
The Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) is a charitable organization founded in 1990 in Namibia, and works throughout all cheetah-range countries in Africa and Asia by carrying out scientific research upon which conservation and education programs are designed and implemented.
Some examples of our international work include consulting for cheetah re-introduction in India and Zambia, and several years of collaboration with the Iranian Cheetah Society and the Saharan Conservation Fund.
At our base in Namibia, more than 350,000 kids and 1,000 livestock farmers have benefitted from our conservation education programs. Our Livestock Guarding Dog Programme, designed to help farmers avoid conflict with predators, is so successful that we have a waiting list for dogs and farmers who own one of these dogs report nearly zero livestock losses to predators. Our habitat restoration project, Bushblok, harvests invasive thorn bush that is then turned into clean burning fuel logs, thus restoring grassland, creating jobs, and initiating a movement for biomass production in Namibia.
