Today, we celebrate one of Africa’s most iconic animals and the urgent work being done to protect them.
Cheetahs are the fastest land mammals on Earth, yet they’re running out of space to survive. Across the continent, fragmented habitats, shrinking populations, and human conflict are pushing them toward extinction.
At The Metapopulation Initiative (TMI), we’re working to change this story.
Through science-based translocations, population monitoring, and collaboration with reserves, we help create a connected network of safe spaces where cheetahs can thrive, hunt, roam and raise their young.
Every successful relocation.
Every genetically diverse birth.
Every coalition protected.
It all brings us closer to a future where cheetahs are secure, not struggling.
Thank you to the reserves, vets, rangers, partners and supporters who make this work possible.
Together, we’re keeping the sprint alive.
Help us protect Africa’s last wild cheetahs.
