African Wildlife Conservation

The cheetah’s range once encompassed nearly all of Africa, Arabia and what is today Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Today cheetahs are restricted to specific areas of Africa and a few small, isolated pockets of land in the Asian countries. Cheetahs in the wild are under threat largely due to increased human/cheetah conflict.

Wildlife Warriors are working in partnership with De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Centre in South Africa to track and relocate problem cheetahs away from local villages. We are proud to assist the efforts of De Wildt’s crucial program in securing the future of this threatened and truly magnificent animal.

Amazing dogs protecting livestock and saving cheetah ...

In 2007 Wildlife Warriors Worldwide commenced a new partnership with the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) to help expand their innovative Anatolian Shepherd Program which is working to reduce the human-cheetah conflict in Africa.

The Anatolian Shepherd Program provides farmers with a non-lethal method of managing predators, therefore promoting a much happier co-existence with the cheetah.

From 6 weeks of age, these impressive dogs are raised exclusively with their herd, their job being to bark and posture to scare the predator away. Cheetahs are quick to retreat from a barking dog.

To date the CCF Anatolian Shepherds have defended their flocks against baboons, jackals, caracals, cheetahs, leopards and even humans.
