Mary Wykstra and Cosmas Wambua of Action for Cheetahs in Kenya have been working together since 2002 conducting research and community conservation programs in Kenya. The two are traveling across the U.S. to bring new insights into cheetah conservation efforts.

Action for Cheetahs in Kenya works closely with local wildlife author­i­ties and land hold­ers to develop poli­cies and pro­grammes which sup­port wildlife con­ser­va­tion and human liveli­hoods for the long-term devel­op­ment of sus­tain­able human and wildlife zones.Since 2008, the Zoo’s WildCare Institute Center for Conservation of Cheetahs in Africa has been partnering with Action for Cheetahs in Kenya and supporting its important cheetah conservation efforts.
