Dr. Laurie Marker Founder of CCF, Cheetah Conservation Fund Interview Series

May 23, 2017

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.
