Support Cheetahs in Tsavo

There are less than 7000 cheetahs left in the wild. The vast Tsavo Ecosystem presents a unique biodiversity stronghold for one of East Africa’s last remaining cheetah populations. Unfortunately, recent intensified development, a growing human footprint, and livestock farming have placed enormous pressure on this wide-ranging, yet non-threatening, endangered wild cat. 

As we continue to adapt our community programs to the pandemic restrictions, we need your help to continue our conservation research, educational outreach and human – carnivore conflict mitigation programs. We have camera traps and hand-held cameras in critical areas where predators have been trapped, retaliated against, and indiscriminately killed. Our fieldwork is conducted in highly critical wildlife habitats and corridors, where other researchers or conservationists avoid working.

Granting organizations that normally fund our work, have paused funding programs during the pandemic. Yet, both poaching of wildlife, and human - carnivore conflict have increased due to struggling communities, impacted by the pandemic. When we are not in the field, cheetahs die and community programs pause. As the Principal Investigator and founder of TCP, I am asking for your assistance during these unprecedented times.
