Our Track Rehabilitation program is entering an exciting new phase: preparing to release cheetahs back into the wild. With your support, we are working to identify suitable nature reserves that will give these magnificent animals the best chance to thrive.
We currently have four male cheetahs ready for release as a coalition. To ensure their safety and long-term survival, we require a reserve of at least 4,000 hectares. The reserve must have no lions, as lions pose a significant threat to cheetahs.
The reserve should also have adequate populations of antelope and other prey species, which are essential for their sustenance. A dedicated monitoring person is needed to track and safeguard the cheetahs post-release.
We are actively identifying potential reserves that meet these criteria. Our team has the capacity to track the cheetahs and provide ongoing monitoring once they are released.
If you know of properties or reserves that fit these requirements, we would greatly appreciate your guidance. Donations are vital to help us partner with conservation organizations, secure suitable land, and provide the resources needed for monitoring and care.
Every contribution brings us closer to giving these cheetahs the freedom they deserve. By supporting this initiative, you are helping us restore balance to ecosystems and protect one of the world’s most iconic species.
We are deeply grateful for your continued support. Together, we can make this release possible and ensure that cheetahs return to the wild where they belong.
