Namibia is one of the last refuges of the remaining world Cheetah population. A quarter of all the remaining cats are found in Nambia. It is estimated their numbers globally have declined by over 90% in the last 100 years. A local thorn bush species is invading the savannah in the country, causing over US$90 million each year in lost revenue to Namibian farmers, whilst also destroying the native habitat of the fastest of the cats. Now the Cheetah Conservation Fund has pioneered a scheme to clear the thorn bush and turn it into cheap fuel briquettes. The project is creating jobs at the same time as helping to restore the hunting ground of the endangered cheetah.By: BigCatRescue Duration: 02:13 Added: 31 minutes ago Views: 1 Categories: Documentary Kids & Family International Tags: cheetah girls sets record new fastest land animal mammal speed man vs lion hyena conservation fund big cats running fast guiness
