Of all endangered species, the cheetah is among those most in need of help. Humans are taking over cheetah habitat, changing it into farms and settlements. Afraid that cheetahs will take their livestock, farmers shoot or poison cheetahs. The number of cheetahs is so small that people are now working to save them one by one. "Caring for Cheetahs" tells of the author's visit at a nature reserve run by the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF). At one time or another, each cheetah at the reserve was taken in as an orphan or to receive medical care for an injury or illness. Many have been released back to the wild.
