Founded in Namibia in 1990, Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) is the global leader in research and conservation of cheetahs. 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 d

eveloped 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.Cheetah Conservation Fund has the ability to save the cheetah from extinction, definitively. This goal is within our power to achieve. Will you help us? A country that formerly exterminated cheetahs, Namibia now proudly calls itself The Cheetah Capitol of the World and has become the leader in wildlife conservation among African nations. But to ensure long-term survival, CCF must parlay our success in Namibia into greater success by extending our reach into other cheetah range countries. We must exponentially increase our capacity to educate, train and intervene in all territories where cheetahs are found if there is any hope for a future for them. Time is not on our side. We need to scale up now. The Cheetah Conservation Fund UK is a UK registered charity (number 1079874). It holds events to raise awareness of the plight of the cheetah, and raises money which goes directly to support the work of CCF Headquarters in Namibia.

Have you ever thought about seeing a cheetah release? 🐆

Well, a few of our visitors were lucky enough to see Astrid and her cubs being released!

CCF had the job of reuniting the family, since it's very important for cubs under sixteen months old to stay with their mother. Our team cared for them before releasing them two weeks later.

Visitors to CCF frequently have the chance to witness our work up close — and sometimes, they're lucky enough to see a release for themselves.

If you'd like the chance to see our resident cheetahs, meet our livestock guardian dogs, or perhaps even meet Dr. Laurie Marker when she's in Namibia, you should come and visit us.

You can book a day visit or stay with us for a couple of days, for one of the most memorable experiences of your life. Click the link below to see all the activities you can get involved in with us!

Happy birthday to two very special cheetahs! 🐆🎂

Tiger and Peter have been part of my life for the past 16 years, and I still remember the day they arrived at CCF.

Every cheetah is special to me, and every one has a story. Peter and Tigerlily came to CCF when they were only a few weeks old in 2010. It is hard to believe how many years have passed!

Our cheetah keepers prepared a frozen birthday treat made with mince and chicken, and as you can see, Peter and Tigerlily were very excited about their special surprise! 😄

Celebrating them is important to me because caring for these cheetahs and giving them the best possible lives is a responsibility we take very seriously.

If you are visiting Namibia, come and meet some of our resident cheetahs and learn more about the work we do.

Happy birthday, Peter and Tigerlily! ❤️🐆

While the CCF UK team is at for Big Cat Fest, we’re also celebrating International Cat Day! 🐆💛

To mark the occasion, we asked Willow’s best friend (well... we think he’s her best friend, we’re not sure she’d agree 😄), Ricky Reino, to share three fun facts about her.

There’s no one better for the job! Ricky has been caring for Willow for many years and knows her better than almost anyone.

If you haven’t met Willow yet, she’s a very special cheetah who lives at The Big Cat Sanctuary. With her incredible story, unique personality, and unmistakable purrs, she’s captured the hearts of everyone who meets her.

Now we want to know... have you ever met Willow in person? 👀💛

Netflix, we’re waiting. Calum’s waiting too 🤣

No, really — there are dogs in Namibia protecting the world’s fastest cat, and they do it without ever meeting one. You can even ask , our amazing curator.

How? Well, click the link in our bio to learn more about our Livestock Guardian Dog Programme 🐐

📸 The camera vs. the shot!

This month, our Cheetah of the Month, Tupuka, led us straight to one of his favourite play trees—and to the camera trap responsible for capturing some of our favourite photos and videos of him.

These moments aren't just beautiful to watch. They're also an important part of CCF's conservation work.

As part of our ongoing research to reduce human–wildlife conflict across Namibia, CCF deploys camera traps throughout the landscape to monitor wildlife movements and collect valuable data on cheetahs, other large carnivores, and their prey.

Because Namibia is made up of both communal and commercial farmland, camera traps help us better understand how wildlife moves through these shared landscapes, providing insights that support conservation and coexistence.

And, every now and then, they reward us with incredible moments like these.

Stay tuned for more of Tupuka's story this month! 👀

We raised all the funds needed to bring Delilah back to the wild! Thank you! 🐾

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we raised £3,118.42!

Because of your generosity, we'll be able to cover all the costs associated with Delilah's release, including veterinary examinations, transport, a GPS tracking collar, release equipment, and ongoing monitoring.

Her release will still take a little time, as we're currently identifying the most suitable release site to give her the best possible chance of success. We'll be sure to keep you updated every step of the way.

If you'd like to continue supporting Delilah and other cheetahs in our care, you can adopt a cheetah today via the link below.

Dr Laurie has an important message about Delilah's future. 🚨

After more than two years of rehabilitation, Delilah is finally ready for the next chapter of her journey: returning to the wild.

As Dr Laurie explains in this video, getting a cheetah to this point takes years of dedication—and releasing one safely requires careful planning, specialist equipment, and ongoing monitoring.

We're raising £3,000 to cover the final costs of Delilah's release, including a GPS satellite collar, veterinary assessments, transport to her release site, and post-release monitoring.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings Delilah one step closer to the life she was meant to live. If you'd like to be part of Delilah's journey home, please donate via the link below.

Delilah is almost ready to go home. Now she needs your help.

After more than two years of rehabilitation, Delilah is finally preparing for the moment she's been working towards: returning to the wild.

But releasing a cheetah isn't as simple as opening a gate. Every release requires months of planning, specialist equipment, veterinary care, and careful monitoring to give each cheetah the best possible chance of success.

We're raising £3,000 to cover the final costs of Delilah's release, including a specialist GPS satellite collar, veterinary assessments, transport to her release site, temporary holding facilities, field equipment, food, and ongoing post-release monitoring.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings Delilah one step closer to the life she was meant to live. Even the cost of your daily coffee could help give her that chance.

Help us make Delilah's return to the wild possible. Donate today via the link below.
