- Action for Cheetahs in Kenya (ACK)

Located near Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, Amani houses orphan cheetahs, including some of CCF's former residents. Their cheetahs have participated in CCF's semen collection as part of our genetics research. http://ww.amani-lodge-namibia.com - American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA)
AZA represents virtually every professionally operated zoological park, aquarium, oceanarium and wildlife park in North America as well as over 5500 individual members. http://www.aza.org - Botswana: Cheetah Conservation Botswana

Cincinnati Zoo is a leading supporter of wildlife conservation for the cheetah in Namibia and home to the Cat Ambassador Program and the Angel Fund, started by Cathryn Hilker. The Angel Fund supports CCF's efforts. http://www.cincinnatizoo.org/ - Conservation of Asiatic Cheetah Project/CACP
The Asiatic cheetah is on the brink of extinction. Many environmentalists and GOs have come together in Iran to put their minds and efforts behind CACP. CCF is linked to and supports this Project. http://cheetah.irandoe.org/ - Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT)
EWT's specialist programmes and large team of skilled field staff are deployed throughout southern Africa and focus on applied fieldwork, research and direct engagement with stakeholders. Their work supports the conservation of species and ecosystems, and recognises the role that communities play in successful conservation programmes.www.ewt.org.za - Fota Wildlife Park
Zoos and wildlife parks care for a number of animal species which are in danger of extinction. Through breeding programmes that are run cooperatively between institutions they help to restore the population. Fota Wildlife Park in County Cork, Ireland, participates in the European Endangered Species Breeding Programme (EEP) for several different species in which the captive populations might make a difference to the species' survival. However, no amount of effort within the wildlife park is worth it if it does not help the survival of wildlife in the wild. Fota maintains a Cheetah donation box at the zoo to support CCF's work. http://www.fotawildlife.ie/fota_objective.html - Gilman International Conservation
