GREEN MATCH FUND 2023 The 20-27th April 2023 saw the Green Match Fund 2023 when donations made to 178 participating charities were doubled. Some are protecting specific animals such as dormice or otters, whilst others are focusing on habitats such as hedgerows or seagrass. Some are based in the UK but help wildlife overseas. The event raised over £4,349,330 for the participating charities through 22,457 donations! This well exceeded the previous year's event (£2.8 million). Well done everyone!
Cheetahs are most numerous in the wild in Namibia. Currently there are about 7,100 to 7,500 cheetahs in the wild. They are the world’s fastest land animal, capable of doing speeds from 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds, which is an incredible feat. They can go up to 70 mph! They use their tails to steer and change direction when they are running, a bit like a rudder on a boat.
This year, the Cheetah Conservation Fund celebrates its 30th Anniversary. It has been working to protect and build healthier ecosystems for cheetahs so that they can survive and thrive in the wild.
Donate! There’s a match fund until 31 December up to the tune of $275,000. If you donate, you can also choose a gift with your donation while supplies last.
Sponsor a cheetah being cared for at the Cheetah Conservation Fund’s headquarters – the most difficult bit will be choosing which cheetah to sponsor! They came in as orphaned cubs, or were being kept as pets, or were injured and came to the centre for help.
Teachers and students can help spread the word and discover lots about cheetahs - there are resources here
