  • Working in conjunction with the Pretoria zoo in South Africa, Ann van Dyk's efforts over two decades has resulted in major achievements in the breeding of what was once a threatened species - the cheetah. Over the years more than 400 cheetah cubs have been born on her farm in the Magaliesberg, west of Pretoria. This is the story of Ann's efforts, at times cruelly thwarted by man and nature, and at times jubilantly successful.
  • This is a fascinating wildlife tale that has a difference: it looks at one woman's personal contribution towards conservation built on the realization that without innovative action, several of South Africa;s wildlife species faced sure and swift extinction.As a partial accounting of her work, Ann talks about the 'discovery' of the king cheetah, the breeding requirements of cheetahs in captivity, and the heavy toll that people extract from cheetahs, both in the wild and in captivity.
