Africa’s Great Cats and Rare Canines Losing Ground

 

August 25, 2005 — By African Wildlife Foundation

 

WASHINGTON — Lions, wolves and other big cat and canine species have long

captured people’s imaginations. They have been memorialized by poets and

filmmakers; exploited by short-sighted traders who would wipe them out for one

more shipment of pelts; and feared by people who have moved into their habitats

and now compete with them for the food, water and land they both need to

survive.

dead bodies lie across the path

the radiation colors the air
