Cheetahs, coyotes, cougars: drawing comparisons

Hannah Cross

GFP graduate Hannah Cross '23 of Dunlap, California, was a guest educator at Fremont / Lopez Elementary School in Stockton, California. The class of second graders was excited to learn about her expedition to Namibia and the work of our EE partner, Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF), inmitigating human-wildlife conflict in the region, and Cross was thrilled to share her classroom experience in a CCF blog:

"While my community in California does not have human-wildlife conflict with cheetahs, these students can draw comparisons to our wildlife, such as coyotes or cougars."

Cross' GFP research focused on raising awareness for human-wildlife conflict issues affecting cat species.

Cross earned a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Biology from Miami through Project Dragonfly‘s Global Field Program.
