A Special Message from CCF and Dr. Laurie Marker


Thanks to you, WE MADE IT!

When we started our End of Year fundraising campaign, we set a very ambitious goal -- raising $450,000 in only a few weeks. Thanks to donors like you, we have not only met that goal, we’ve exceeded it, raising more than $470,000 by 31 December!

The money you have donated will support Cheetah Conservation Fund’s programming for the beginning of 2013, including expanding our habitat restoration efforts through our Bushblok programme, growing our incredibly successful Livestock Guarding Dog programme, and continuing our rewilding efforts and genetic research.

We can’t thank you enough for your support.

With only 10,000 cheetahs remaining in the wild, your gift has come at a critical time. Your contribution can make the difference in preserving this magnifi cent and iconic species in the wild for future generations to enjoy.

Your support has strengthened us, and given us the resources and the resolve we need to continue our race to save the cheetah. We’ll continue to update you throughout the year as to the progress we’re making, and the projects that your contribution has made possible. You’re not just a donor, you’re part of our CCF family.

With heartfelt thanks,


Dr. Laurie Marker
Founder and Executive Director

PS: We are overwhelmed with gratitude for your generous response for our year-end campaign. Historically, we experience a drop-off in donations each January, so we thank you in advance for your on-going support for in our efforts to save the cheetah into this New Year.
