Cat Conservation: Chase Them With Dogs - Laurie Marker

As one of the smallest species of big cat roaming Africa's savannas, the cheetah often gets pushed out of national parks and preserve areas by larger predators like lions and hyenas. Cheetah Conservation Fund founder and Big Cats Initiative grantee Laurie Marker says this makes cheetahs act the part of a pest in Namibia. They're forced to survive on private land, often hunting livestock animals, which puts them into conflict with farmers. Her solution? Hire big dogs to chase the big cats off.
