The beauty of a #cheetah in black and white—timeless, yet fragile. With ~7,000 left in the wild, every moment matters. #Habitat loss, #HumanWildlifeConflict and #IllegalWildlifeTrade put their future at risk. Awareness is the first step 🐆🌍

Many #cheetahs at the #CRCC arrived as young cubs under stressful conditions, resulting in chronic medical issues. These conditions require long-term care and limit their ability to be rehabilitated for release into the wild.

At CCF, we try to release cheetahs back to the wild when possible, but not all of them can be. This is why it’s important to raise awareness about the #IllegalWildlifeTrade and remind people that cheetahs are #NotPets.
