the Matto Barfuss Foundation

We are currently facing the greatest mass extinction that our planet has ever experienced. Protecting individual species makes little sense. Nevertheless, the cheetah remains the flagship species and the one that needs to be protected. With the foundation replacing the association, we are now better positioned and can plan more effectively for the future.

We promote cheetah conservation directly in cooperation with the Cheetah Conservation Fund, educational measures to reduce human-animal conflicts, and hope to acquire land in Africa in the future in the spirit of ‘Biodiversity Credits’ to expand and connect protected areas.

We pay particular attention to networking between Europe and Africa (with a focus on Botswana), because conservation of species is a global problem. We promote creativity in art, film and presentations. It is important to convey the highly complex information and relationships emotionally and factually to the general public.
