Our project is look­ing for vol­un­teers who are pas­sion­ate about wildlife con­ser­va­tion. Action For Cheetahs projects include habi­tat mon­i­tor­ing and mod­el­ing, com­mu­nity edu­ca­tion and aware­ness, and com­mu­nity devel­op­ment. Our research, edu­ca­tion and com­mu­nity pro­grammes are con­ducted in affil­i­a­tion with Cheetah Conservation Fund and Kenya Wildlife Service.
