Conversation with author Dr. Laurie Marker about Cheetah Conservation

Dr. Laurie Marker first traveled to South West Africa (now Namibia) while conducting research into the rewilding of captive-born cheetahs. Dr. Marker’s research proved that cheetahs held in captivity could be taught to hunt but, more importantly, it was during this time she discovered livestock farmers were killing wild cheetah by the hundreds.
