Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) is the global leader in research and conservation of cheetahs. Founded in Namibia in 1990, CCF is dedicated to saving the cheetah in the wild. Cheetahs used to thrive in numbers of over 100,000 over a range that stretched across most of Africa through Asia; today there are less than 7,500 remaining, occupying only 9% of their natural range. The cheetah is Africa’s most endangered big cat. Namibia, with an estimated 1,500 wild cheetahs, has approximately a quarter of the remaining cheetahs. Otjiwarongo, Namibia, the town where CCF’s Centre is based, is recognized as “The Cheetah Capital of the World.”
