Cheetah Outreach also breeds Anatolian shepherd dogs and places them on South African farms to guard livestock, with remarkable results reducing conflict between farmers and predators.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<p><a class=\"button\" title=\"Cheetah Outreach Trust\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheetahoutreachtrust.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cheetah Outreach Trust\u00a0<\/a><a class=\"button\" title=\"CCF\" href=\"https:\/\/cheetah.org\/about\/what-we-do\/conservation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CCF<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheetahconservationbotswana.org\/\">Cheetah Conservation Botswana<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n                    <\/div><div class=\"large-page-portals__item-hidden\" data-title=\"\">    \n                        <div class=\"large-page-portals__item-close\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/source\/assets\/icons\/ui\/close-orange.svg\" alt=\"close image\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\">\n                        <\/div>                                                                       \n                        <div class=\"large-page-portals__item-hidden-images image-carousel carousel-slider col-span-12\">\n                        <ul class=\"image-carousel__slides carousel-slides\" data-si=\"0\" data-pointer data-pointer-state=\"swipe\"><\/ul>\n                        <nav class=\"image-carousel__navs carousel-controls\">\n                        <span class=\"prev-slide\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"previous\" title=\"previous\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/source\/assets\/icons\/ui\/arrow-styled-left.svg\" alt=\"image pointing left\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/span>\n                        <div class=\"image-carousel__navs-scroller\"><ul class=\"image-carousel__indices carousel-indices\"><\/ul><\/div>\n                        <span class=\"next-slide\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"next\" title=\"next\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/source\/assets\/icons\/ui\/arrow-styled-right.svg\" alt=\"image pointing left\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/span>\n                        <\/nav>\n                        <\/div> \n                        <div class=\"large-page-portals__item-hidden-content\"><h2><\/h2><p>The Cincinnati Zoo supports the <a href=\"https:\/\/fishingcat.org\/western-terai-fishing-cat-project\/\">Western Terai Fishing Cat Project<\/a> &#8211;

These highly intelligent and curious birds come into conflicts with humans most often through removing car windshield wipers, chewing on weather stripping, and tearing through human garbage cans. The Kea Conservation Trust has developed and initiated a community-focused conflict response and resolution program. They are on call to respond to kea-related issues found in high country sheep farmers, schools, logging areas and ski resorts with knowledge and patience. In this way, they inspire communities to protect and preserve this endangered New Zealand treasure.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" title=\"Kea Conservation Trust\" href=\"https:\/\/www.keaconservation.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kea Conservation Trust<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n                    <\/div><div class=\"large-page-portals__item-hidden\" data-title=\"\">    \n                        <div class=\"large-page-portals__item-close\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/source\/assets\/icons\/ui\/close-orange.svg\" alt=\"close image\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\">\n                        <\/div>                                                                       \n                        <div class=\"large-page-portals__item-hidden-images image-carousel carousel-slider col-span-12\">\n                        <ul class=\"image-carousel__slides carousel-slides\" data-si=\"0\" data-pointer data-pointer-state=\"swipe\"><\/ul>\n                        <nav class=\"image-carousel__navs carousel-controls\">\n                        <span class=\"prev-slide\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"previous\" title=\"previous\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/source\/assets\/icons\/ui\/arrow-styled-left.svg\" alt=\"image pointing left\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/span>\n                        <div class=\"image-carousel__navs-scroller\"><ul class=\"image-carousel__indices carousel-indices\"><\/ul><\/div>\n                        <span class=\"next-slide\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"next\" title=\"next\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/source\/assets\/icons\/ui\/arrow-styled-right.svg\" alt=\"image pointing left\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/span>\n                        <\/nav>\n                        <\/div> \n                        <div class=\"large-page-portals__item-hidden-content\"><h2><\/h2><p>The Cincinnati Zoo supports Eastern Ghats Wildlife Society.
