Us at (CCI) are happy to congratulate the judicial system of Pakistan for ordering a Pakistani YouTube star with 5.6 million subscribers to create 12 animal welfare videos as punishment for illegally owning a lion cub

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Season’s greetings are coming from the African Range-wide Cheetah Conservation Initiative (CCI) of the Howard G. Buffett Foundation (HGBF), supported by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous year 2025.

CCI, CHD and @ACC_Africa initiated a dedicated camp for boys to provide essential #conservation training. This project empowered and educated young Maasai boys on critical conservation issues within the Amboseli ecosystem, #carnivoreconservation, and human-wildlife coexistence.

Booklets in good hands!! The CCI, in collaboration with @PantheraCats, has developed an educational booklet presenting #cheetah and #leopard species and their conservation issues for schoolchildren of Primary schools in the WAP landscape in Northern Benin.

A team from CCI, @ACC_Africa and Rombo Wildlife Conservancy Trust recently carried out a School conservation education program in Rombo, Kenya to change the learners' perception about #carnivores and their relevance in the #ecosystem. #disneyconservationfund

RT @WildCRU_Ox: Although the density of lions in the Greater Kafue Ecosystem, Zambia, is low due to prey depletion, a new spatial analysis…

RT @TheStarKenya: Baby cheetahs are being torn away from their mothers in Kenya and sold in Somalia for just about Sh10,000. #Starinfograp…

The focus is on large carnivores, and the cameras will be moved periodically to achieve a strategic coverage within both the community lands and the conservancy. The grant is provided by Disney conservation Fund.

CCI and ZSL-Kenya are supporting Rombo Wildlife Conservancy Trust through its research base at Olowuaru Camp, adjacent to Tsavo West in Kenya, to set up and regularly monitor 40 camera traps across Rombo.

The @CCIAfrica is currently developing the first national #conservation action plan for #AfricanWilddogs and #Cheetah in Senegal. The very last population of west African wild dogs is now found in the Niokolo-Badiar Complex (Senegal-Guinea).

The precise origins of trafficked cubs in the #HornofAfrica have long been mysterious. Now, scientific efforts aim to unveil the source of the cubs, providing a better understanding of where the #cheetah supply chain begins. #illegalwildlifetrade

At CCI’s recent national carnivore coordinator training course, government wildlife authorities from 11 cheetah and wild dog range states from across Africa were invited to the new law enforcement centre in Kafue National Park. #cheetah #NCCTraining #conservation
