Dear researchers - I have scanned through the references and perhaps missed it but have you considered looking into the work of Cheetah Outreach in South Africa? A link is provided for looking at their website
Thanks for the suggestion Patricia. We are aware of the intitiative you mention but as it is in a different continent and deals with different species in a very different setting it is not particularly relevant to our work.
Livestock guarding dogs feature in the current issue of Carnivore Damage Prevention News and will be the subject of a special issue to be published in the near future: http://www.medwolf.eu/index.php/cdpnews.html
Thank you for the response Robin - I suggested that only because I have visited Cheetah Outreach, know one of the founding members and the issues are very similar. I appreciate the response though!
