NAMIBIA-CHEETAH-LIVESTOCK-WILDLIFE-ANIMALS-
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY JUSTINE GERARDY
US doctor Laurie Marker, founder and executive director of The Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF), poses at the CCF center in Otjiwarongo, Namibia, with an Anotolain Sheperd dog on August 13, 2013. Marker's center started breeding Anatolian livestock dogs to promote cheetah-friendly farming after some 10,000 big cats -- the current total worldwide population -- were killed or moved off farms in the 1980s. Up to 1,000 cheetahs were being killed a year, mostly by farmers who saw them as livestock killers. But the use of dogs has slashed losses for sheep and goat farmers and led to less retaliation against the vulnerable cheetah. AFP PHOTO / JENNIFER BRUCE
