The non-profit \u2018Matto Barfuss Foundation\u2019 was established in 2025 in Germany. It was founded by Matto Barfuss and the 1998 established  non-profit organisation \u2018Leben f\u00fcr Geparden e.V.\u2019 (LIfe for Cheetahs), founded by Matto Barfuss in 1998, which was dedicated to the conservation of wild cheetahs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July 2026 the Matto Barfuss Foundation registered successfully the Matto Barfuss Conservation Trust in Botswana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Founder Matto Barfuss lost his heart in Botswana. He says: \u201eBotswana is a role-model as a democracy and also a role model how to utilise wildlife as a sustainable resource. I want to dedicate my work and legacy to support Botswana, the people and wildlife to continue the road to a bright future where wild animals and humans co-exist.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Matto Barfuss Conservation Trust runs an office in Maun. The Country Manager is Sharon Banyatsang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Wildlife Education (Interactive Wildlife-Schoolbook \u201eThe Wildlife at my Home)<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • Wildlife-Film-Documentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Research<\/li>\n\n\n\n
