It aims to develop a new use of the footprint identification technique that will help conservationists improve the survival of wild cheetah populations. Simply paste the following HTML code most places on the web.Cheetahs are in trouble!
The Skype session will give the students and teachers the opportunity to talk with the researcher and ask questions about research life and this fascinating cheetah conservation project. ''Genetic variation exists so ecological pressures can be adapted to.
This pledge will cover transportation to enable reaching remote research sites within Namibia for the duration of the project.As a Gold Sponsor you will be a named sponsor on the research project’s website (http://www.fitcheetahs.com) as well as on Facebook and Twitter. It was an absolute pleasure to be in this enclosure with Larissa and the Cheetahs, and learn so much about what she does. In addition, you will be able to choose two of three A3 signed cheetah footprint artworks and will also have access to my research blog.
This pledge will pay for one handheld GPS or three field research days. This pledge will pay for two camera traps or four field research days.A school of your choice will be able to have a Skype session with the researcher and receive access to the monthly research blog. Don’t let this extraordinary project and these beautiful big cats become silenced.”If you wish to donate a different amount to those specified and discuss an incentive, please contact Natalie@crowd.science or myself at www.fitcheetahs.com.Thank you! I also have a degree in German Law.I have been passionate about genetics and conservation for a long time and have worked as a volunteer at RZSS Edinburgh Zoo for several years. A virus that caused feline infectious peritonitis at the Wildlife Safari a few years ago almost wiped out the cheetahs there, and it is feared that if a foreign virus got into Africa, cheetahs could not cope. You will also be acknowledged as a sponsor in any publications. Cheetahs were able to increase their numbers by inbreeding, but not the size of their gene pool. This will cover lab costs, field research days and transportation to enable reaching remote research sites within Namibia for the duration of the project.I am absolutely thrilled that Larissa is asking for this fabulous project to be funded so that an important progress to help ensure the survival the beautiful cheetah can be made. This pledge will pay for 20 field research days or lab and field equipment. When you listen to somebody who loves and appreciates the wonderful position she is in to be able to spend time with such beautiful animals, it is so easy to learn from them. Larissa Slaney is a highly capable, determined and organised researcher; I am glad she is doing this work and I fully support her.”“I first met Larissa Slaney when she assisted me in the laboratory with my research on the ‘Functional analysis of genes regulating barley drought stress’; she is full of tenacity and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her.The time, effort, and determination Larissa has put into her ‘Fit Cheetahs’ conservation project is remarkable and inspirational. Bringing in eight new panthers might seem like too little too late, but in fact, the genetic diversity they brought with them seems to have had significant benefits for the population.

FIT has already been developed for several other species and WildTrack is constantly working on algorithms for new species. Live webinar invite in Summer 2018 and receive a ‘Fit Cheetahs’ wristband and access to my monthly research blog. Larissa certainly has this.Thank you!

If the genes differ, scientists say they will urge the two governments to cooperate in deporting the cheetahs for breeding.Laurie Marker, cheetah curator at the Wildlife Safari in Winston, Ore., said that if the genes from cheetahs in eastern Africa are similar to those of cheetahs in southern Africa, careful breeding will have to take place with unrelated cheetahs in captivity to save the species.Since 1970, according to the report, 10 percent to 15 percent of wild-caught cheetahs have been successfully bred. ''Genetic variation exists so ecological pressures can be adapted to.'' I have been knowing Larissa for more than two decades and I know she combines the skills and the dedication needed to make this project a success, namely compassion for conservation, determination, scientific precision as well as having the heart and mind of a scientist with a keen interest in communicating science that will enhance consciousness around the issue at hand.
The seminar includes free zoo entrance to give you the opportunity to explore RZSS Edinburgh Zoo before or after the seminar. In addition, you will receive three different A3 signed cheetah footprint artworks and will also have access to my monthly research blog. I have experience in wildlife conservation, molecular biology and science communication. He said analysis of the samples would be completed in October. ‘Thank You’ postcard from Namibia and access to my monthly research blog.
