How Cheetahs Contributes To The Diversity Of Life
When the cheetah is removed from an ecosystem, the population of its natural prey increases. This has a rippling effect across the ecosystem. affecting a wide variety of organisms.
How Humans Continue To Impact The Natural Environment Of The Cheetah
Humans hunt and kill cheetahs and use their skin for leather jackets and furred things. If we keep buying those things, cheetahs will be endangered. :(
