BONSALL, Calif. - A California wildlife centre is planning a fundraiser for construction of a safe house for the world’s decreasing population of cheetahs, officials said. Wild Wonders conservation and education centre in Bonsall scheduled the Nov. 2 event to benefit the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Africa, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Sunday. There are fewer than 7,100 cheetahs worldwide, about half the number from 10 years ago, according to the Cheetah Conservation Fund. Since 2007, the centre 47 miles (76 kilometres) north of San Diego has raised a trio of captive-bred cheetahs that have helped raise more than $100,000 for cheetah conservation, Navarro said.
