When you support Cheetah Conservation Botswana (CCB), you help preserve the nation’s cheetah population through scientific research, community outreach and environmental education, and their community work to promote coexistence with Botswana’s rich diversity of carnivore species.
Cheetahs are a flagship species for the delicate Kalahari ecosystem and its rich biodiversity. Botswana is a remaining stronghold for cheetahs, providing a home for approximately 30% of earth’s remaining 7,100 cheetahs.
CCB has been working alongside the Botswana Government since 2003 to help facilitate coexistence between rural communities and carnivore species.

Solutions in Action
Thriving Nature & Wildlife
Livestock Guarding Dogs
To reduce conflict between cheetahs and livestock, CCB trains a local breed of Tswana livestock guarding dogs to protect livestock from any carnivore attacks. With a network of over 100 participating farmers, CCB trains puppies and provides free veterinary care and information. This reduces the loss of livestock for farmers, and avoids any potential retaliatory threats to wild cheetahs and other carnivores.
Thriving People
Bush Camps
CCB’s education department conducts four-day educational camps, where children and adult groups are immersed in experiential learning through lectures, bush walks, activities, and fun games, and come to appreciate Botswana’s environment and carnivores.
Supporting Conservationists
Empowering the Next Generation of Conservationists
Over the years, WCN has supported three CCB staff members with scholarships, enabling them to further their studies and grow into stronger conservationists. By investing in their education, we’re helping nurture the next generation of conservation leaders.
Quote“Botswana has an incredibly important role to play in cheetah conservation globally. It is one of the last and best hopes for the preservation of our earth’s declining cheetah population.”
