- There’s more to wildlife photography than you might think.
In this third episode of “In the Field with Donal Boyd”, Donal brings us along on a rare behind-the-scenes look into a cheetah conservation project at his favorite place to photograph African wildlife: Erindi Private Game Reserve in Namibia.
During this short film, we’re quickly introduced to conservation biologist, Eli Walker, from the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF), whom we follow, along with the conservation team at Erindi, on their mission to release 5 male cheetahs into the reserve.
__________________________________
Cheetah populations across Africa have decreased dramatically over the recent decades due to climate change, hunting by humans, and habitat destruction. Founded in Namibia in 1990, CCF is an international non-profit organization dedicated to saving the Cheetah in the wild. The collaboration between CCF and Erindi started with the rehabilitation program where displaced Cheetahs are released back into the wild at Erindi, a protected nature reserve. Although effective at protecting the individual animals that exist at Erindi, which is nearly 5 times the size of Manhattan, it is only one part of the bigger picture for Cheetah conservation. If you’d like to learn more about the critical work of CCF and how you can support protecting and restoring Cheetah populations across Africa, please visit the link below.

This Boyd series is great.
This was a GREAT video! I was just at CCF in May and saw all their wonderful work. Adding the Erindi group, especially Eli's commentary throughout, to the fight to save cheetahs gives me lots of hope.

Great story. Thanks for sharing!
Great work and wonderful video and video shots. Such beautiful creatures.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching 🤙🙏
Thanks for all the hard work and dedication to help these orphans cheetahs back to wild. Please give updates about how these cheetahs are doing in the wild. Hope they start hunting soon 🐆😃
Excellent presentation/documentary, ver much appreciated. Updates whenever possible.
Cheers, absolutely! The Cheetahs are doing fantastic at the moment. The last update is that they recently made a kill on their own in fact! A few kills, actualy. Hunting on their own is a huge step and they've gotten a male duiker, and two zebra foals just within the past days. :D
Great! 👍👍👍❗️
Very beautiful 😻. Would love to see more. I support efforts to save cheetahs and wildlife 😘 thank you 🙏
Thank you, Mee
WOW, what an amazing video, could watch that for hours and would love to see an update, well done all, great job!
Thank you so much! Yes the males are doing very well in fact! The recent update is that they’ve made a few kills on their own and moving about quite nicely 🤙🙏
@@DonalBoyd1 Great thanks for the update, are you going to share a video about the update?
Thank you for doing this for the animals
Thank you for your interest as well
Fantastic 😎🤝🤟🏼
Thanks so much for watching, friend!
Great things your doing my friend! Always loved cheetahs and the thought of any of the big cats going extinct is sickening and sad. We need more people like you to promote saving the most beautiful creatures on earth!!!
Many thanks for the kind words, Michael. And agreed, we need to have so much more attention to the plight of these cats. Despite so much love for them, there's just not enough focus on actually protecting them in the wild.
It was fascinating!
Stoked to hear you liked it!
Keep up the good work Sir
Thank you so much for watching Ojas!
