Since 1990, when the project began, CCF has focused on cheetah conservation, working with commercial farmers, who land is also home to the world's largest free roaming cheetah population (numbering around 3.000 cheetahs).

Over the years, CCF has adopted injured and orphaned cheetahs taking them in as their own, assessing their health, and bringing them back to healthy conditions when needed.
All with the final goal of releasing the animals back into the wild after extensive rearing or rehabilitation.
