TOPSHOT - A member of the Cheetah Conservation Fund holds a baby cheetah in one of the facilities of the organisation in the city of Hargeisa, Somalilandd, on September 17, 2021. - Every year an estimated 300 cheetah cubs are trafficked through Somaliland to wealthy buyers in the Middle East seeking exotic pets.
Snatched from their mothers, shipped out of Africa to war-torn Yemen and onward to the Gulf, a cub that survives the ordeal can fetch up to $15,000 on the blackmarket.
It is a busy trade, one less familiar than criminal markets for elephant ivory or rhino horn, but no less devastating for Africa's most endangered big cat. (Photo by EDUARDO SOTERAS / AFP) (Photo by EDUARDO SOTERAS/AFP via Getty Images)
