The Cheetah Outreach assists the
Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in their efforts to
ensure the survival of the free-ranging cheetah. This is done
through education programmes that increase the awareness of the diminishing
numbers of free-ranging cheetahs in the wild. Funds are raised for
CCF to support their efforts in releasing trapped,
wild cheetah and non-lethal predator control methods (i.e.
placement of guard dogs in Namibian farmlands).
Cheetah Outreach was founded by Annie Beckhelling in January 1997
on a hectare of land donated by Spier Wine Estate. The education programme
began with two cheetahs: Inca (6-year old male) whose role was to
greet visitors at Spier and Shadow (1-year old male) who travelled
to community events. At Spier, with an annual visitor-ship of 650,000
people, the cheetah ambassadors are able to greet more than 10% of
the guests. By 1998 Shadow and his young nephew Nyana-Spier already
greeted in excess of 100,000 people.
We need to do more to save our wildlife and this is how you can help
by donating to the Cheetah Outreach Programme, a non-profit organization
that looks after the well being of the cheetah.
Contact us at cheetah@adventuratours.com
for more information on the benefits of your donations. A private
encounter with one of the animals can be arranged during your stay
in Cape Town, contact us now, so that we can help to save their future.
