Racing to Save the Cheetah by Julie Taboh Award-winning conservationist Dr. Laurie Marker warns that unless we act quickly, the world will likely lose its remaining cheetahs within the next ten years. That dire prediction comes on the heels of a newly released report by World Wildlife Fund, which states that the world has already lost 50 percent of its wild animal population since 1970. That grim statistic includes the loss of two-thirds of the wild cheetah population. VOA's Julie Taboh has more. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/media/video/racing-to-save-the-cheetah/249292 8.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/media/video/racing-to-save-the-cheetah/2492928.html
