The National Zoo's first litt8r of cheetah cubs was born in November 2020． When

Cheetahs are endangered animals．About 100 years ago, the wild cats roamed an area from North Africa to India．Today, cheetahs inhabit only the countries south of the Sahara desert．Just 12,000 t 15,000 now live in the wild．

The hit movie Finding Nemo follows a clownfish from the Great Barrier Reef． In real life, clownfish are among e thousands of colorful sea creatures that call the Great Barrier Reef home．tretching l,250 miles along Australia' s northeastern． coast, the Great Barrier Reef is the longest cora reef in the world．

A coral reef is a living underwater structure． But these days, the Great Baer Reef has found itself in trouble．Overfishing, pollution, and high temperatures are harming its health． That's why

the govement in Australia is trying to help rescue the reef． Underwater Garden

While coral may look like a plant, it is actually made up of tiny sea animal．hose sea animals are called coral polyps． As polyps die, they leave hard．hells behind． Other polyps grow on top of the shells．Over thousands of years, they form a coral reef in warm water that is not ver deep．

In many ways, the Great Baer Reef resembles an underwater garden． Coral can be hard or soft．It forms in different colors and in stange shapes．Some coral looks like hardened brains． Other coral looks like fans and lettuces．

supplies food． and． shelter to creatures living in and around the coral． Turtles, sharks, sea horses, and crabs are among its many inhabitants． Helping Humans

While the reef is important to ocean life, it helps humans, too． People rely on the reef for both food and jobs． It also provides medicine used to treat disease． Each year, the Great Barrier Reef contributes about $ 975 million to the economy through tourism and fishing．

Stressed Out

Fishing nets and ships break off sections and damage the reef． Air and water poution are also doing harm． At the same time, warmer sea temperatures have caused coral bleaching（漂白） on half of the reef． The high temperatures cause the coral to tu white, often killing it． Reef Rescue

In an effort to help save the reef, the govement has limited fishing to two thirds of it． That plan increases the number of \．”Those are areasare off -limits to fishermen and boats． However, tourists and researchers can still visit them． Many fishemen are upset about the plan because they rely on the reef for jobs．

The Australian gment says that its plan will help keep the reef safe from some

threats． \
