Paces with all its might to escape market-deadly poachers.
Endangered to threatened.
Rare to find in many places.
Gracefully it flies and migrates.
Reaches speeds up to 200 mph (320 kph), it's the fastest animal (unless
you do not believe birds are animals?!).
Incredible -- in many ways.
Not extinct nor endangered, but restored.
Earns our gratitude and our respect.
Few survived, but now we're helping and our help is paying off.
Almost lost just about a decade ago.
Loved and seen by many of us now; still, some can't see how important they
are.
Cried for freedom nearly five or ten years ago.
Our great birds are finally taken off the hamster wheel, but because of poachers, they have to carry weights.
Now, would you like to be kept inside a gambling casino or a market? Think
about it.
