The Cheetah Conservations Fund

Dr. Laurie Marker is the Executive Director of The Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF), which is located in Namibia, Africa. She and her organization have made incredible strides in Africa doing research and teaching farmers how to live in harmony with cheetahs.

Cheetahs are not man-eaters, nor will they risk their lives to go after livestock when dogs or donkeys protect them. That's why CCF is giving Anatolian Shepherd dogs to farmers. Farmers who use these dogs learn that they no longer have to kill cheetahs to protect their cows and goats. Learn more at cheetah.org.
