Icon8 its time to lift our game
i felt it was my duty to bring to your awareness the plight of the cheetah. in 1904 there 100,000 cheetahs in the wild. today there is only 15,000. how many will there be in 10 years? its a scary thought, isn't it?

come on everyone. lets lift our game

I fully expect one of Fardin's greatest moments to be brought up because of this thread.

How? By

a) creating a huge morass of bureaucracy to prevent Namibians from farming in cheetah areas?

b) killing off Namibian citizens so that the cheetah can live there?

I'm with Nibbs on this, just as long as he isn't a card carrying member of the Anit-Liger Alliance

Not just cheetahs, but many animals (and whales) need to be protected.

TBH, though this may not be any better than every single other nibbs thread in history, his main point is at least valid.

Most people don't care except for when the animal is cute like a baby cheetah.

when i mean everyone i feel like i am passing this message, not only onto cricketweb people, but also the world. i think the namibian government should find ways so that the people of namibia can live in harmony with cheetahs. we've been through too much to see them die out.

Is this a challenge to see how low we can get the cheetah population in the next 10 years?
