ACK aims to promote the conservation of cheetahs through research, awareness and
community participation in Kenya. ACK works closely with local wildlife authorities
and landholders to develop policies and programmes that support wildlife conservation
and human livelihoods for the long-term development of sustainable human and wildlife
zones.
The Cheetah Center at Soysambu is dedicated to the conservation of all animals but
will focus on the Cheetah. Cheetahs are a flag species that generate a great deal
of attention. The flag species status can be used to educate people from all over
the world about the importance of Kenyan wildlife. Cheetah populations have been
declining for years due to habitat loss and poaching. Reversing the downward trend
will take an effort from many different organizations and people. The Cheetah Center
at Soysambu will work to educate people about the plight of the cheetah through
education programs both at the Cheetah Center and also off-site programs. These
programs will include cheetah encounters, school presentations and fund raising
opportunities to aid the Soysambu Conservancy and Cheetah Conservation in Kenya.
