We have been keeping it quite a secret for over 2 months now, that we have our first set of cubs out of our Panyame Cheetah Project. However, even though having cubs is the most amazing news story ever, we are just as excited to announce that the entire Panyame Cheetah Project has been picked up by National Geographic and an article has been written about our work. If you had asked Robbie at the beginning of this project and the short life of The Origins Foundation what a goal would have been - it would have been to be featured in National Geographic. Well we have done it, in a short 6 year span as a non-profit. Get to know the guest: https://www.backcountryafrica.com  Do you have questions we can answer?
