The Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) is a non-profit organization based in Namibia, Africa that is dedicated to the conservation of cheetahs and their ecosystems. CCF was founded in 1990 with the goal of reversing the decline of cheetah populations in the wild and ensuring their long-term survival.

CCF's work is centered around research, education, and community outreach, and it employs a multi-disciplinary approach that includes conservation biology, wildlife management, and community development. Through its various programs, CCF aims to address the many threats facing cheetahs, including habitat loss, conflict with farmers, disease, and the illegal wildlife trade.

One of CCF's key initiatives is its Cheetah Range Expansion Project, which aims to establish new populations of cheetahs in areas where they have become locally extinct. CCF also runs a variety of educational programs aimed at raising awareness about cheetahs and their conservation, including community-based education programs, youth camps, and wildlife workshops.

In addition to its direct conservation efforts, CCF also works closely with local communities to promote coexistence between people and wildlife, and supports sustainable agriculture and livestock practices that reduce conflict between farmers and cheetahs.
