Cheetah Conservation Botswana

Botswana is home to roughly 30% of Earth’s remaining wild cheetahs, and Cheetah Conservation Botswana (CCB) is committed to protecting this stronghold for this iconic big cat. Human-cheetah conflict is the primary cause of cheetah deaths, as locals perceive them as threats to their livestock, so CCB works with these communities to better understand cheetahs and reduce conflict that prevents people and cheetahs from living harmoniously. These community initiatives include providing farmers and livestock herders with guard dogs, educational camps for their children, and training to promote coexistence with cheetahs.
