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.
Several projects come up from time to time in Paraguay because of the working relationship we have with different people in that country.

Strives to foster human-lion coexistence in Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Here intensifying human-wildlife conflicts has been tough on the lions.
In the last decades, the lions have begun to disappear entirely from their former ranges, separating the famous Ngorongoro Crater lions from the Serengeti. The area’s mission for harmonious coexistence is collapsing, with both people and wildlife losing out.
KopeLion was founded in 2011 with the aim to change this trend. By working directly with residents, KopeLion strives for sustainable human-lion coexistence in Ngorongoro for the benefit of both people and lions.
