Get ready for an inspiring discussion with the renowned conservationist, Dr. Laurie Marker, as she delves into the complex challenges confronting cheetahs today. Cheetah Conservation is not solely about saving these majestic big cats; it's also an exploration of the human-driven factors shaping their existence. Dr. Marker will enlighten us on the profound impact of our actions, from climate change to poaching, on this magnificent species.

Imagine living outside protected areas, dodging threats at every corner. This is the harsh reality for cheetahs.

Lastly, we shift our focus to the future. Cheetah conservation isn't a sole effort. It's a collective responsibility, and we learn about the unique initiatives making a difference. We talk about livestock protection programs in Africa, the essential role of livestock guarding dogs, and how you can get involved with cheetah conservation.
