Cheetahs Saved by Kangal Shepherd Dogs

Dr. Laurie Marker, Executive Director of the Cheetah Conservation Fund, held a talk on the 6th of May in Holland, about cheetahs and what the CCF is doing to prevent these magnificent animals from becoming extinct.

The Cheetah Conservation Fund offers an integrated livestock and predator management course to farmers in Namibia, to create awareness and understanding of cheetahs, and why it's important to save them.

Farmers are also given guard dogs to protect their livestock from all predators, like leopards and cheetahs, and the number of cheetahs killed in Namibia has dropped, thanks to the success of this program.

Your support can help CCF roll out this program in other countries where cheetahs still roam freely.

Let's create a balance between the needs of people and wildlife!
