__________________________________ is racing toward extinction. Today there are just

(1)
7,100 cheetahs left in the wild, according to a new study.

(2)_________________________________ Because of several reasons, like the establishment

of animal and agriculture farms. People sometimes kill cheetahs if they see the
animals as a threat to their livestock, but cheetahs rarely take domesticated
animals. (3) ___________________________________ for their skin and other body parts. Also,
cheetah’s prey species, such as antelopes and gazelles are hunted by people in many
areas, leaving them without food. (4)
___________________________________ high demand of cheetah cubs or babies as pets
mainly in the Middle East, which results in the illegal trade of cubs from North
Africa.

______________________________ ensuring balance in the predator-prey ratio, and

(5)
protection of the ecosystems are all efforts that are needed to address these threats.
Surprisingly, cheetahs do not adapt well to protected areas like national parks and
wildlife reserves. Fortunately, organisations such as the Cheetah Conservation Fund
(CCF), are working with farmers on the ground in some places to help ensure
the cheetah’s survival.
