    Story

    The survival of leopards on private land is crucial to their long term viability, but they come into conflict with people who snare, shoot, poison, or trap them to reduce their perceived threat as livestock predators. Livestock guarding dogs reduce livestock predation rates to almost zero, eliminating the need for farmers to destroy leopards, and helping both people and leopards to coexist. I will run the Kruger National Park half marathon on the 1st of August to raise money to fund the dog.
