What Will it Take to Save the Cheetah?

The world's fastest land animal, the cheetah, is a unique and the most specialized member of the cat family and can reach speeds of 70 mph. It is also the most endangered cat in Africa. Join Dr. Laurie Marker on a video journey through the history of the Cheetah Conservation Fund and the plight of the cheetah for survival. Witness a fabulous cheetah release, learn about the Livestock Guarding Programme or about tracking cheetahs in the wild, and hear Laurie as she shares her thoughts and hopes about the cheetah's future.
