Story
I have volunteered at Cheetah Experience (CE) since 2011. CE do not own all of their animals, and the owner of 4 cheetahs are looking to sell them at auction. They are loved and cared for so much, it would simply break my heart for these cheetahs to end up in the wrong hands, HUNTERS' HANDS.
Less than 7,500 are cheetahs left in Africa with only about 850 left in South Africa. Captive breeding programs like CE help us to learn about & hopefully save this amazing species.

I have volunteered at Cheetah Experience since 2011, visiting the project 7 times. I have fallen in love with the animals, staff, and the project as a whole. The effort and work they put into saving endangered species is inspirational and I am lucky to have played a small part.
