The De Wildt Cheetah Centre, which is a major Conservation effort, was established in 1971 with the aim of breeding endangered species. The name was changed in 2010, to the Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre. As a tribute to the woman who has devoted her life to the survival of cheetahs and other rare and endangered species. Over the past two decades the Centre's efforts have resulted in the major achievement of breeding what was once a threatened species, the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus). Over the years, nearly 600 cheetah cubs have been born at De Wildt - a dramatic contrast to the days when the cheetah population of South Africa was estimated at a mere 700.
