Dr. Laurie Marker is Founder and Executive Director of the Cheetah Conservation
Fund (CCF). A former Oregonian, Laurie Marker is a Time magazine "Hero for
the Planet" award recipient, and is a world-renowned expert on the cheetah.
CCF's mission is "to secure habitats for the long-term survival of the cheetah
and their ecosystem through multidiscipline and integrated programs of conservation,
research and education."
The fastest land animal on earth is also Africa's most endangered big cat. With
only 12,000 wild cheetah left, the cheetah could disappear within 20 years. With
your help, CCF can maintain the programs that will help the cheetah win its race
for survival.

Meet Bella - Chicago's Mascot
Bella means ‘Beautiful’ in Italian and this couldn’t be more appropriate. When Bella
arrived CCF staff and volunteers couldn’t believe how adorably cute she was, so
much so that Bella often becomes many visitor’s favourite CCF cheetah. She is now
a year old
"Conservation is our future. It is up to us to become a voice for our natural
world
and to ensure that species survive for future generations."

Dr. Laurie Marker, Cheetah Conservation Fund Executive Director.
