CCFвЂ™s programs have effectively stabilized and even increased the wild cheetah population in Namibia. CCF has developed a set of integrated programs that work together to achieve this objective. Saving this magnificent animal from extinction requires innovative conservation methods that address the welfare of both cheetah and human populations over large landscapes.

The vast majority of wild cheetahs are found outside protected areas, in areas populated by humans.

Habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation.

Most of the reasons for the cheetahвЂ™s endangerment can be grouped into three overarching categories: Today, cheetahs are found in only 9% of their historic range and are extinct in their Asian range except for a small population in Iran of about 50 individuals. CCF is dedicated to saving the cheetah in the wild.Д¬heetahs once ranged across the entire African continent, except for the Congo Basin, and into Asia from the Arabian Peninsula to eastern India. Safari Lake Geneva is proud to support the efforts of GCF in ensuring a sustainable future for all giraffe species.ДЇor more information, visit Cheetah Conservation FundДЇounded in Namibia in 1990, Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) is the global leader in research and conservation of cheetahs. In some areas traditionally regarded as prime giraffe real estate, numbers have dropped by more than 95%. This is due to a number of factors including habitat loss, habitat degradation and habitat fragmentation coupled with human population growth and illegal hunting (poaching). Latest estimates by GCF and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) indicate that giraffe numbers have plummeted across Africa by ~40% to <100,000 individuals in the past three decades. Recent research by GCF and partners has shown that there are four different species of giraffe and not only one as previously assumed. The Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF) is the only non-governmental organization in the world that concentrates solely on the conservation and management of giraffe in the wild throughout Africa.

Many previously abundant frog and toad populations have experienced dramatic population declines both in the United States and around the world, so it is essential that scientists understand the scope, geographic scale, and cause of these declines. They are considered indicators of environmental health.
