Watch: Are Cheetahs Running Toward Extinction?
Transcript
The world’s fastest land animal may be running toward extinction.
A new study finds 7,100 cheetahs remain in the wild.
That’s down from 100,000 a century ago.
Scientists are calling for the cheetah to be listed as endangered to spur further conservation efforts.
Cheetahs are threatened by prey and habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and illegal trafficking.
