CCF sta lavorando su tutti i fronti per fermare il commercio illegale di animali selvatici (IWT) di cuccioli di ghepardo dal Corno d’Africa alla penisola arabica.
Il periodo più critico per IWT è ora, durante la stagione dei cuccioli. CCF Somaliland riceve la maggior parte delle chiamate durante questo periodo, in genere da ottobre a marzo, dal governo locale mentre intercetta il traffico di cuccioli di ghepardo. Possono essere 2-3 cuccioli di ghepardo alla volta o un gruppo di più di 12 cuccioli.
In genere, un team composto da un veterinario, un tecnico veterinario, un responsabile delle operazioni, un membro dell’unità di protezione speciale e un traduttore assembla le necessarie cure per gli animali e le forniture mediche. Quindi iniziano il viaggio di un giorno per incontrare il coordinatore regionale del Ministero dell’ambiente e dei cambiamenti climatici (MoECC) in un luogo sicuro per ricevere i cuccioli di ghepardo.
Si prevede che solo il 50% dei cuccioli salvati sopravviverà o, una volta tornati alle CCF Safe Houses, potrà essere spostato dalle cure di emergenza alle cure generali per i ghepardi.

Necessità urgente di forniture mediche
The CCF team urgently requires emergency medical supplies to increase the chance of survival of the cheetah cubs. Current costs run approximately US$15,000 per month which is beyond the normal cheetah care received once the cheetah is stabilized and can be moved to one of the CCF safe houses.
As volunteers and staff go to Somaliland, they are asked to bring medical supplies to equip the clinic for emergency care. The shipping cost for sending supplies to CCF Somaliland is very expensive, eroding precious resources available to CCF.
On this International Cheetah Day, we ask our followers and supporters around the world to make a donation to one of CCF’s affiliates specifically for emergency medical supplies to be transported by volunteers or staff travelling to Somaliland.
We are now in “cubbing season” and your support is urgently needed.
