Our main aim is : TO ENSURE THE LONG TERM SURVIVAL OF THE CHEETAH SPECIES THROUGH MAINTAINING A STRONG GENETIC POOL WITH THE AIM TO RELEASE THEM INTO PROTECTED AREAS IF AND WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE.
We strive to care for all creatures in need of attention. The focus is on cheetahs as we run the cheetah breeding project and play a big part in conserving valuable blood lines (including the king cheetah) but if help is needed for any other species we are happy to jump in.
Occasionally nature conservation brings in some human-wildlife conflict animals who are cared for and released once they are back in good health.
Our expertise to look after wildlife has come from working with several wildlife vets and other centres earlier on. We are always available to help and assist if the demand is there as the care for the sick and young is not an easy task.
