CCF一家美国经营的挖掘开发猎豹周边文化旅游生活与猎豹食物生活供给， 关注人与动物共存问题的组织，得益于非洲大区优秀的匹配机制

Cheetah Conservation Fund’s holistic conservation strategy is the key to success in saving the cheetah and its ecosystem. CCF works 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

家畜护卫犬
CCF 的牲畜护卫犬 (LGD) 可以减少农民牲畜损失。

Livestock Guarding Dogs

CCF’s Livestock Guarding Dog (LGD) program is proven to reduce livestock losses to predators. According to multiple long-term scientific studies, farmers with an LGD are less likely to trap or shoot cheetahs. LGDs are a major part of CCF’s holistic conservation strategy.

CCF 培育安纳托利亚牧羊犬和康高犬成为 LGD。现在，几千年来，该品种在土耳其被用来保护小牲畜免受狼和熊的侵害。 LGD 作为幼犬被放置在纳米比亚农民手中。幼犬与牛群或羊群保持联系。随着它们的长大，它们的体型和响亮的吠声有助于吓跑捕食者。

CCF breeds Anatolian shepherd and Kangal dogs to become LGDs. Now, and for thousands of years, the breed is used to guard small livestock against wolves and bears in Turkey. LGDs are placed with Namibian farmers as puppies. The puppies bond with the herd or flock. As they grow up, their size and loud bark help to scare predators away.

保护区
CCF 是纳米比亚保护运动的成员。保护区由致力于负责任地管理野生动物的土地所有者团体经营。事实证明，保护纳米比亚的野生动物宝藏对保护区具有经济利益。

Conservancies

CCF is a member of Namibia’s Conservancy movement. Conservancies are operated by groups of land owners committed to responsibly manage wildlife. Protecting Namibia’s wildlife treasures is proven to be economically beneficial to conservancies.

因为保护区的人们“拥有”野生动物从中带来的旅游获益远远大于捕杀，他们对保护野生动物更感兴趣。

Because people in the conservancies “own” the wildlife, they are far more interested in protecting it.

在纳米比亚，保护区管理的地区对偷猎者的容忍度很低。大沃特堡景观是CCF参与的水利和经济开发区。作为我们整体性经济经营发展从而实现保护战略的一部分，CCF 与社区农民和居住在沃特伯格高原周围的人们雇佣合作。

In Namibia, areas governed by conservancies are more resistant to poachers. The Greater Waterberg Landscape is the conservancy and economic development area in which CCF participates. CCF works with communal farmers and people living around the Waterberg plateau as part of our holistic conservation strategy.

 

生物质技术开发和 Bushblok

2001 年，猎豹保护基金 (CCF) 和美国国际开发署 (USAID) 合作寻找对生态和经济都有好处的栖息地改善计划。

Scat Detection Dogs

Trained scat detection dogs help CCF geneticists find cheetah scat in the field. Scat dogs use different signals to their handler to indicate what type of animal scat is present. Once the sample is collected it is taken to the laboratory. DNA is extracted to identify individual cheetahs and understand cheetah and other carnivore population structures.

纳米比亚猎豹种群研究

CCF 对纳米比亚猎豹的种群研究自 1990 年以来一直在进行，迄今已收集了 750 多个组织和 1000 个粪便样本。这些样本现在可以用于研究纳米比亚猎豹种群超过 30 年的时间跨度。 CCF 50.000 公顷野生动物保护区内的种群监测，结合微卫星标记的遗传分析，使我们能够通过视觉和遗传特征识别个体猎豹。作为这项研究的一部分，Marker 博士在牛津大学获得了博士学位，对来自 7 个纳米比亚中北部地区的 322 个样本进行了遗传评估，并按来源进行了比较。为了进一步拓宽我们对猎豹种群结构的了解，计划进行景观遗传分析以评估南部非洲猎豹 A. j. jubatus 和它的多样性。

Cheetah Population Study in Namibia

CCF’s population study for the Namibian cheetah has been ongoing since 1990, with over 750 tissue & 1000 scat samples collected to date. Those samples now allow for research on Namibian cheetah populations over a timespan of 30 years and counting. Population monitoring within CCF’s 50.000 hectares of wildlife conservancy, in combination with genetic analysis via microsatellite markers, allows us to identify individual cheetahs by both visual and genetic traits. As part of this study, Dr. Marker obtained her Phd with Oxford University, for which 322 samples from 7 north-central Namibian regions were assessed genetically, and compared by origin. To further broaden our insight in the structure of cheetah populations, landscape genetic analyses are planned to assess the southern African cheetah A. j. jubatus and it’s diversity.

非法野生动物贸易研究

为了帮助打击非法野生动物贸易，CCF 与索马里兰野生动物当局合作，在索马里兰开设了一个新的安全屋，专门为从宠物贸易中恢复的猎豹幼崽建造。仅在 2019 年，遗传学实验室就收到了来自 53 个人的 146 个样本。 CCF 还从阿联酋的各种兽医和育种机构收到了样本。迄今为止，已提取和基因分型 97 种以检测动物的来源。除了基因工作外，CCF 还为阿联酋启动了精子库，并举办了多次研讨会，讨论成年雄性猎豹精子的收集和可行冷冻，以保护来源种群的遗传多样性。
