Double Your Donation for the Cheetah

by Dr. Laurie Marker December 4, 2024

The challenge to save the cheetah has never been more urgent – or more promising – than it is today. At the heart of the Cheetah Conservation Fund’s (CCF) mission lies one core truth: conservation doesn’t happen in isolation. It takes partnerships – between organizations, governments, communities, and supporters like you – to make a lasting impact.

Earlier this year, the Global Cheetah Summit brought together stakeholders from around the world for one shared purpose: to ensure a future for the cheetah, whose wild population now stands at fewer than 7,500. From that summit emerged a renewed spirit of collaboration, ushering in significant milestones over the past months.

Your support has made these collective wins possible. Now, as we begin our Home Range for the Holidays campaign, every donation you make will be doubled – up to $400,000 – by a generous group of donors (scroll for the full list).

Our Vision Moving Forward

Thanks to our collaborative achievements, we’re already seeing the difference that partnerships can make. But to achieve these goals and ensure the survival of the cheetah well beyond 2030, your support is essential. This holiday season, your gift will be doubled up to $400,000, helping us make a future for the cheetah with CCF’s world-famous holistic conservation programs.

With your donation, we can make a bigger impact to:

Expand cheetah habitats through conservation initiatives.
Collaborate with farmers to promote predator-friendly livestock management.
Mentor the next generation of conservationists and scientists.
Conduct essential research, rewilding and translocations to secure sustainable cheetah populations.

Join Us in This Mission

By supporting the Cheetah Conservation Fund, you become part of a global movement to secure a future where cheetahs continue to thrive in the wild. Together, we’re proving that conservation through collaboration works – and with your generous partnership, we’ll continue protecting the world’s fastest land animal for generations to come.

Our most important collaborator is YOU! With YOUR support the cheetah will run free for generations to come.

Reverse Regional Extinction Through Partnerships

With cheetah populations continuing to decline, restoring cheetahs to former range countries has become a critical step in preventing rangewide extinction. As a valued contributor to Project Cheetah, CCF collaborates with nations committed to reintroducing cheetahs to their historical ranges. These partnerships offer vital opportunities to expand habitat, restore ecosystems, and combat biodiversity loss, showing how international cooperation can make a lasting impact.

Strength Global Networks

Through new alliances with organizations and government agencies and ministries like the Royal Commission for AlUla, NEOM, Rainforest Trust, US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), Darwin Initiative and the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS), CCF has strengthened conservation corridors and protocols for cheetah rewilding. The Addis Ababa Declaration for Global Cheetah Conservation underscores these efforts, highlighting the critical need for international cooperation to protect cheetahs and other vulnerable species.

Build and Bolster Opportunities for Policy Action

Following COP16’s theme of Peace with Nature and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, our work aligns with ambitious goals to halt biodiversity loss by 2030. Goals like restoring 30% of degraded ecosystems and reducing extinction rates support CCF’s mission to create lasting change for cheetahs and their habitats.
