1) Cheetahs have large home ranges of over 800 square miles and can travel across 20 farms, threatening livestock. 2) The Cheetah Conservation Fund works to reduce conflicts between cheetahs and farmers through programs like livestock guarding dogs and education. 3) With over 600 guarding dogs provided since 1994, these programs have significantly reduced predation on livestock and threats to cheetahs, helping conserve cheetah populations.

Saving the Cheetah in the Wild
• Over the past 27 years, CCF has been able to reverse the
trend in the loss of cheetahs and now Namibia is the Cheetah
Capital of the World
• CCF needs to dramatically expand its programme scope and
execution to impact all cheetah-range countries in order to
save the cheetah
