Action For Cheetahs
Action for Cheetahs in Kenya (ACK) is a conservation organization focused on promoting cheetah conservation through research, awareness, and community involvement. They employ staff from communities that share space with cheetahs and their habitat, and gather data through routine patrols and walking transects to track trends in wildlife and carnivore populations. ACK has conducted the first national cheetah survey in collaboration with other organizations to fill gaps in knowledge about cheetah status and identify strategies to address threats to cheetah survival in Kenya. They also work to mitigate conflicts with predators and livestock losses, and educate local communities on the importance of cheetahs and their habitat. Through their efforts, ACK aims to ensure a future for this iconic species in the wild by working together with other conservation organizations, government agencies, and local communities.
