Reason #53 to get involved
With loss of habitat and prey, carnivores—like cheetahs and wild dogs—are hunting community livestock. As a result, farmers are forced to kill these species. African Wildlife Foundation needs support training scouts and funding bomas to protect livestock as well as negotiating buffer zones for wildlife.

Reason #80 to get involved
In a 1900 census, the cheetah population was around 100,000. Today, only 9,000 remain in Africa. With less prey and habitat—and pursued by hunters—the cheetah is at a high risk of extinction. With your help AWF can continue providing incentives to locals to prevent hunting.

Reason #43 to get involved
Conservation-minded individuals can work with AWF to designate their lands as protected spaces. These environmental easements help counter the decline of wildlife due to development and habitat fragmentation.
Reason #71 to get involved
In the early 1900s, 500,000 black rhinos roamed Africa. Today, the population stands around 29,000. When you support African Wildlife Foundation, you aid in the conservation and growth of endangered species like the rhino.
