'The hunter or the hunted?'

'The hunter or the hunted?'

This photo of a young male Cheetah was taken just after he and his mother and sister had made an Impala kill in Zuka Private Game Reserve (South Africa).

In the 1900s there was thought to be over 100,000 Cheetahs that spanned across four different continents. Today, the rapid descruction of their natural habitats, their persecution by local farmers as a perceived threat to livestock, and the continued poaching for their pelts, now threatens the survival of this maginificent species. With less than 10,000 mature breeding individuals estimated to be left in the wild, Cheetahs are now “facing a high risk of extinction” (IUCN threatened species list).
So who is really the cold-blooded killer in this story?

Jeunes Animaux Confisqués au Katanga (young animals confiscated in Katanga) or “J.A.C.K” is a refuge centre for orphaned chimpanzees. Based in the Democratic Republic of Congo, JACK is an independent, self funded NGO that also works to slow and then to stop the dreadful haemorrhage of forest wildlife.

All profits made through these cards will go towards the rehabilitation and care of the young chimpanzee orphans at JACK. Further donations can be made by contacting Mr. Franck Chantereau (founder) at jack@lub.gbs.cd or visiting the (french) website at www.littlejak.fr
