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

Although she lives with us at the Cheetah Rescue and Conservation Centre (CRCC) for continued care 🏡, she belongs to herself – and no one can claim her life as their own. ✨ #endwildlifetrafficking

Her freedom is a powerful reminder of what true ownership means. 🕊️
