AfriCat Foundation

The AfriCat Foundation, established in 1991, is a non-profit organisation dedicated to conserving Namibia’s large carnivores, including cheetahs, leopards, and lions.

The foundation focuses on protecting these species through research, education, community support, and the rehabilitation of injured or orphaned animals. AfriCat runs a Carnivore Care Centre, where rescued carnivores are treated and, when possible, released back into the wild.

The foundation also works with local communities and farmers to promote coexistence and reduce human-wildlife conflict. AfriCat collaborates internationally on carnivore conservation efforts, contributing significantly to the protection of Namibia’s wildlife.
