This is the first of a series with staff, interns and volunteers at the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia. I first interviewed Founder and Director of CCF, Dr. Laurie Marker outside her office at CCF where we enjoyed a mix of a beautiful sunset on the Waterberg Plateau and an incoming thunderstorm. After the interview I was able to record the purring of the four cheetah ambassadors, Peter, Tiger Lily, Kayjay and Senay, so please stick around to end to hear their happiness.   Here are some links to follow for more information on the Cheetah Conservation Fund: www.cheetah.org https://wildnet.org - Upcoming Fall Expo event: https://wildnet.org/events/wildlife-conservation-fall-expo-2017 Pathways Africa 2018 co-hosted by CCF: www.pathwaysafricaconf.org - a conference to train and educate about human wildlife conflict resolutions (integrating human dimensions into fish and wildlife management).
