Meet Koya! 🐾 A male cheetah arrived at #CheetahConservationFund Namibia 🇳🇦 in July 2017 alongside his brother Niko, both about six months old. #KoyaTheCheetah

They had been kept in a small chicken coop for over two months after being captured and sold. #EndCheetahTrade #StopCheetahTrafficking

Since #CheetahConservationFund (CCF)'s Livestock Guarding Dog (LGD) program began in 1994, we’ve placed over 800 dogs on farms across #Namibia and parts of Africa 🌍

Most farmers report an 80% to 100% reduction in livestock kills by #cheetahs and other predators. ✨

Two crudely cut yellow-orange plastic containers with rope handles, used as makeshift transport boxes, sit on a wooden floor. These containers are often associated with illegal wildlife smuggling.

Fewer than 7,000 #cheetahs remain in the wild. 📉

Each year, hundreds of cubs are trafficked from the Horn of Africa to the Middle East.

This illegal trade shrinks wild populations and threatens their long-term survival. 🌍 #EndWildlifeTrafficking

A leopard perches elegantly on top of a reddish termite mound in a golden grassland, its body facing forward but head turned to the left as it scans the horizon. Behind it, distant acacia trees and a dusky blue mountain range fade into a dreamy, pastel sky that looks like a painted backdrop. The scene feels both wild and serene.

Spotted at the #CheetahConservationFund in Namibia 🇳🇦…and it’s not a #cheetah!

During a recent sundown drive, guests came across a #leopard surveying the landscape. 🐾

The #BigCat stayed near the vehicle for nearly 30 minutes, appearing relaxed and even venturing quite close. A special sighting! ✨

Zephyr, a young cheetah with a fluffy coat and expressive amber eyes, sits playfully on sandy ground at the Cheetah Conservation Fund's Research and Education Centre in Namibia. Her front legs are stretched out and her tongue peeks out slightly, giving her a curious and animated expression in the warm, open habitat.

These funds will support our #Bushblok programme — restoring habitats, creating livelihoods, and protecting wild #cheetahs. 🐾

Just in case you needed a few seconds of cheetah cubs - these are the two most recent rescues at #CheetahConservationFund (CCF), at the International Research and Education Centre in #Namibia 🇳🇦

Orphaned and estimated to be about six weeks old at the time, they were transferred to #CCF in March 🐾

I did this photo and ad for the Cheetah Conservation Fund - CCF some years ago, pro bono, in an attempt to help the plight of the Cheetah. Through collaboration with our Oregon Wildlife Safari.

These approximately four-month-old cubs were rescued from the 🛑 #IllegalWildlifeTrade and arrived at the #CRCC in February.

Their rescue was thanks to the joint work of Somaliland’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC) and #CheetahConservationFund (CCF) 🤝

Earlier this year, #CheetahConservationFund (CCF) launched a new effort in the Horn of Africa—the #Somaliland Camera Trap Project. Led by ecologist Liomba Junior Mathe (Leo), 154 cameras were deployed to assess the status and distribution of #cheetahs in the region for the first time.

🌿 #DidYouKnow? The work being done by #CheetahConservationFund goes beyond #cheetahs. One day, #DrLaurieMarker spotted this stunning female #leopard on a termite mound at CCF’s Centre in Namibia.

CCF’s efforts support thriving ecosystems 🌍, promoting wildlife diversity. 🌱 #WildlifeConservation
