Cheetahs do not pose a threat to human life. People have carried on the campaign against cheetahs because they believe cheetahs wantonly kill livestock as well as other animals, such as small or young antelopes, causing excessive economic loss. Despite these problems, cheetah have a chance for survival on the vast farmlands of southern Africa. Humans share this Earth with up to 33 million animals, plants and other life forms. The diversity of life on our planet is amazing.
People depend on many different plants and animals for food and medicines.
Cheetahs are only one of 33 million species living on the planet. It is tempting to think that the loss of only one species will not effect us. But we must remember that all things are connected and explore how important cheetahs are in their ecosystem. When we lose even one species, our world becomes a poorer place to live. The cheetah deserves a place on this earth.
