The primary goal of the Cheetah Outreach Trust is the conservation and promotion of the co-existence of the wild cheetah that lived on farmland areas in South Africa. From a global estimated 100,000 cheetahs at the turn of the 20th century the population is currently estimated to be 6,674.
Shrinking habitat, dwindling natural prey, and conflict with human activities are the primary causes of these decreasing numbers. There are estimated to be 1,326 cheetahs in South Africa, of which approximately 500 are wild and living on farmland in the northern part of the country. This specific population is the focus of our work. Cheetah Outreach Trust USA understands the complexity of issues involving cheetah conservation in these farmland areas due to decades of working hand in hand with farming communities.
Cheetah Outreach Trust uses the cheetah as a flagship species to promote co-existence of predators on farmland areas in South Africa, while simultaneously focusing on conservation.
The cheetah is the fastest land animal and Africa’s most endangered big cat. Cheetahs are visual hunters and, unlike most other big cats, they are diurnal — active mainly in the early morning and late afternoon. Cheetahs help regulate prey populations by removing weak and old individuals, keeping herds healthy and balanced.
