Help Save the Cheetah from Extinction

With less than 7,500 cheetahs remaining in the wild – and the illegal pet trade increasing – cheetahs are now listed as “Vulnerable” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.

By partnering with Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in Namibia, we’re doing all that we can to save the cheetah from extinction. Help us by donating today!
