”In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught” – Baba Dioum
About Us
Ajubatus, taken from the scientific name of the cheetah Acinonyx jubatus, one of Africa’s most endangered mammals, epitomises the freedom of spirit, grace and dynamism of our conservation initiatives. The concept of establishing a Foundation was conceived in the African wilderness as early as 1992 and has grown into a highly influential initiative since those formative years.
Over the years, Ajubatus has come to mean different things to different people and yet our founding principles and ethic remains unchanged, The Preservation and Promotion of our Wilderness Heritage. To this end we have dedicated our efforts to initiatives that truly embrace the highest conservation ethics.
Introduction
The Ajubatus concept of providing specialist research into endangered species was first mooted in the mid 1990′s with initial emphasis being placed on the cheetah-Acinonyx jubatus, from which the name Ajubatus has been taken. The fastest land mammal on earth and heralded for its grace and elegance, there is a growing concern that this animal might, in time face extinction both through loss of habitat and predator competition.
As will be noted from the projects listed below, we have placed great emphasis on monitoring of the species within a controlled environment and this will assist with multi-national research being undertaken.
