Working together to make space for Cheetah and African Wild Dogs

The Africa Range-Wide Cheetah Conservation Initiative (CCI) works to improve the status of cheetah and reverse declines in their populations. We will achieve our goal by delivering impacts through three pathways that are essential to successful, sustainable, and landscape-scale conservation of cheetah:
Corridors, Communities and Capacity.

Our Key Programs

CORRIDORS

To improve wildlife corridors in order to secure and restore connectivity for cheetah and their prey across seven cheetah landscapes. To support the development of legislative and regulatory frameworks that promote wildlife corridors and transboundary populations.

COMMUNITY

To develop and implement new community-based initiatives to reduce conflict and improve wildlife-based livelihood approaches to foster coexistence with cheetah. To improve community capacity for wildlife stewardship.

Read More

CAPACITY

To train a new generation of African leaders in cheetah conservation; to train and mentor government-based National Carnivore Coordinators. To improve scientific knowledge and understanding of cheetah, their ecosystems and their relationships with people.
