Cheetahs!

from Kim:

Local farmers tend to see cheetahs as pests, and also as predators and threats to their small stock (goats and sheep). The most important role of CCF is direct cheetah conservation. These efforts include cheetah rescue, release of wild cheetahs, feeding and maintenance of captive cheetahs and using cheetahs as ambassadors to the world, CCF serves are a refuge for cheetahs in Namibia. Farmers call in to report nuisance cheetahs and CCF comes to pick them up, saving the cheetahs life. Young cheetahs are often not able to survive on their own. These cheetahs serve as CCF ambassadors for young and old to learn about the cheetah's fight for survival in Namibia. CCF gives these cheetahs a protected place to flourish and reestablish a strong foothold. This photo pictures Dr. Laurie Marker, the head and founder of CCF and Kate and Matt, who are the cheetah keepers (cool job title, huh?), with Little C, who lives in one of the center pens on CCF.
