Chasing Cheetahs

The book highlights the dramatic decline of cheetah populations in Africa, from over 100,000 in 1900 to fewer than 10,000 today. It focuses on Laurie Marker and the Cheetah Conservation Fund's efforts in Namibia to combat this crisis. Since its inception in 1990, CCF has rescued over 900 cheetahs, successfully returning many to their natural habitats. The narrative emphasizes conservation efforts and the challenges faced in protecting these remarkable animals from extinction.
