Why Cheetahs? Cheetahs in the Horn of Africa are at the brink of local extinction due to a deadly combination of the illegal wildlife trade and human-wildlife conflict. With your help we will educate local communities to reduce the supply of cheetahs to the trade, work with governments and law enforcement to stop the demand, and provide urgent and ongoing care to rescued cheetahs.
