The cheetah, an icon of the African landscape, might disappear in our children’s lifetime. Can you image a world where your grandchildren would never see this majestic and beautiful animal in the wild? How will we tell future generations that we let cheetahs go extinct?
Why leave a gift in your Will?
At Cheetah Conservation Fund UK (CCF-UK) we are dedicated to saving cheetahs in the wild. Our vision is to see a world in which cheetahs live and flourish in coexistence with people, in an environment where they are protected and celebrated.
A gift in your Will, however small or large, will help make this vision a reality, and continue to provide hope for wild cheetah populations for generations to come.
Without our supporters, we could not continue our vital work, championing, and campaigning to rescue, care and protect Africa’s most endangered big cat.
Leaving a gift in your Will to the Cheetah Conservation Fund UK is an incredible way of protecting and conserving wild cheetah populations for future generations. We completely understand that family and friends come first, so we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who feels able to leave such a special gift.
Remembering a Legacy with a Legacy. The story of Chewbaaka.
Chewbaaka was brought to CCF in July of 1995. He was only a few weeks old, starved and close to death. Dr. Laurie Marker nursed the little cub to health, and the bond between them grew stronger and stronger as the years passed.
Chewbaaka became a constant companion to Dr. Laurie Marker as they educated farmers and school learners and the people of Namibia about the plight of the cheetah. People who met Chewbaaka did not easily forget him. Seeing a cheetah in a positive and educational interaction, was often just the catalyst needed to change the hearts of those who feared the cheetah as a potential threat to their livelihood. Farmers who used to shoot cheetahs on sight began to lay down their weapons and work to help save them.
Chewbaaka’s ability to connect with humans in such a way that they wanted to learn more was uncanny. Over time, Chewbaaka has become a touchstone, a tangible symbol of CCF’s vision of a world where humans and cheetahs can thrive together. That’s why we choose to remember him and have named our legacy giving fund in his honour.

By including CCF in your Will, you will be supporting vital conservation efforts and a set of programs that are proven effective.
Previous legacies left to CCF have funded both our Livestock Guarding Dog program helping to dramatically reduce human-wildlife conflict and our Cheetah Conservation & Research Centre which cares for countless cheetahs ruthlessly taken from the wild to meet the demands of the illegal wildlife trade.
In short, a gift in your Will takes us further and faster in our race to save the cheetah from extinction, and we thank you.
