Due to conflict with humans, cheetah numbers have plummeted by 90% in the last century.  Botswana has one of the last free-ranging cheetah populations in the world, making it an essential stronghold for the future of the species.  Unable to compete with healthy populations of more powerful predators in reserves, Botswana’s cheetahs are forced to live closer to villages where human/predator conflict jeopardizes their survival.

Cheetah Conservation Botswana (CCB) cultivates a conservation ethic among farmers in Botswana while contributing important scientific data to the international cheetah conservation effort.  Demonstrating predator-proof farming techniques in local workshops, live theater and video production, CCB empowers farmers to secure their livelihoods while sharing land with cheetahs.  CCB is developing "demonstration farms" that highlight sustainable and innovative techniques.
