Deon Cilliers: Cheetah Outreach Wild Tales Presentation:
“Deon has worked in formal Conservation for the past 34 years. During his career, he worked for the Government in a conservation law enforcement capacity. He later moved to a position where he addressed and managed human vs wildlife conflict for the Limpopo Province Dept of Environment. In 2000, Deon left the formal conservation sector and joined the NGO Conservation sector in South Africa. He was involved with the De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Trust as Conservation Manager, The Endangered Wildlife Trust as Conflict Mitigation Officer, and currently, since 2013, with Cheetah Outreach Trust as Conservation Manager of the in situ conservation projects of the Cheetah Outreach Trust. Deon leads a team of three conservationists that focuses on working with farmers to conserve free-roaming cheetah in South Africa. This involves assisting with human vs cheetah and other predator conflict mitigation, education, and outreach to farmers within the free-roaming cheetah range, as well as research and monitoring of the free-roaming cheetah population outside of conservation areas in South Africa. “
