In this week’s conversation, we speak with Dr. Laurie Marker, founder and executive director of the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF). Dr. Marker walks us through the history of the plight of cheetahs, and how she and CCF have saved this exquisite species from certain near extinction to now introducing them to places around the world where the cheetah has long been absent. Dr. Marker tells us about the incredible programs working to solve the human-wildlife conflict in the context of cheetahs, and the enterprising ways CCF is educating and supporting local farmers. We loved hearing about the breeding and training program with Anatolian shepherd dogs, a Turkish guard dog, to help protect local farmers’ flocks, but wait, did she say…..guardian DONKEYS?
Listen here and fall in love with this incredible success story in the making and how one woman made it her life mission to save this vulnerable, beautiful, and iconic cat.
Thanks again to Laurie and CCF!
Lots of Love.
