Cheetahs can be saved by more environmental education Cheetahs can be saved by more environmental education How can education save a cheetah?

By participating in environmental education, you become someone who cares for our land, its wildlife, and the future your children will inherit.

Cheetahs are only one of 33 million species living on the planet.  We must remember that all things are connected, and explore how important cheetahs are in their ecosystem.

Extinction is forever...

...and survival is up to you and me.  Only the ‘human animal’ can save the cheetah from extinction.  Loss of habitat, conflict with humans, as well as its own loss of genetic variation, are the main threats facing the cheetah today.

By learning the reasons why species are endangered, we can all learn how healthy ecosystems are crucial and what will occur if we continue to pollute the environment and destroy habitats.

Wild species maintain healthy ecosystems, provide us with food, shelter and clothing, benefit us economically and improve the qualities of our lives by their existence.

The children of today are the future generation. That which a child is not taught, he cannot understand.  It is our duty to teach children about the cheetah's race against survival and what we as humans took away from them. We have to teach them to work in unity to put an end to this.  Once you have touched a cheetah and experienced the wonderful sound of it's purring, it will stay with you for life.
 
Let your children come back to nature again and enjoy an experience in open air, away from the buzz of the city - back to the farm where they can laugh and enjoy life the way they'd like it to be!

Ons Kinderhuis

Ons Kinderhuis visited us during December Ons Kinderhuis visited us during December

During the December holidays, the children who did not have a home to go to, visited us as a Christmas gift to them.

St Michael's School

St Michael's came to visit our cheetahs and other big cats St Michael's came to visit our cheetahs and other big cats

A competition was put together by the children of the St Michaels school in order to generate funds for a operation that Mafusa, the male Cheetah, needs to undergo urgently.  The participants had to make a get well card for Mafusa.  The winners had the opportunity to meet Mafusa and learn more about the problem with his leg, as well as gain more general information on Cheetahs.
