Description

Join Dr. Marker, executive founder and director of the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF), who will present Cheetah Conservation while also conveying a larger message about how the welfare of people, ecosystems, and animals are inextricably bound together. CCF’s innovative “holistic conservation strategy” is in alignment with several of the UN’s seventeen SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals): they strive “to develop best practices that benefit the entire ecosystem upon which the cheetah depends. CCF’s programs address the concerns for wildlife populations and the human communities that share the landscape.” Several chapters in her edited volume about cheetahs discuss the connection between cheetah conservation and the SDGs.
