Hello, my name is Copper and I am This is me!
15 years old. Since I was a baby I Gazelles

have long legs, a long narrow tail for
balance, and a deep chest that
contains large lungs.

My typical diet in order to
survive consists mainly of

gazelles, especially
Thomson's gazelles. I can be

found in any wide-open
habitat where I can easily

BEFORE l AFTER

Before humans and climate change l
started to kill us we were all around
the world living peacefully in our safe l
environment.

Today there are just 7,100 of us left in the

l wild. The key to the survival is trying to stay
l alive outside of protected areas but we

need your help.

As our world grows and the population of
humans increases, we continue to lose our

habitat.

BIG CHANGE

People will then sometimes kill us if they
feel like if we are threats to where they live.

An unstable ecosystem will be more
likely to lose species. Some of us
already live in protected areas like

national parks, where it is safer and
the animals experience less threat.

Help us!! We need you :)
