Yes. Especially in Asia. Hunting, habitat degradation and fragmentation, desertification, and direct killing of wildlife that the Cheetah preys upon are all factors responsible for the chronic decline of the Cheetah in Asia.
The Asiatic Cheetah exists in very low numbers, divided into widely separated populations. Its low density makes it more likely to be affected by a lack of prey through livestock overgrazing and antelope hunting, coupled with direct hunting by humans. Cheetah's were widely hunted by humans for decades and that is the main reason for their drastic decline in numbers.
Though the African cheetah is found in more numbers than their asian cousins, they too are threatened due to habitat loss and hunting.
Yes, unfortunately Cheetahs are listed as endangered, under the Endangered Species Act.
These wonderful felines often find themselves being victims of trophy hunters.
They are also victims of bushmeat hunters. Though not their primary target for bushmeat, the hunters still often shoot and take cheetahs that get trapped in their snares. If you've eaten bushmeat during an African holiday/vacation/break, chances are it probably contained a bit of an endangered animal.
In recent years they have also suffered with habitat losses due to human expansion.
Another recognised modern risk to the cheetah is the construction of high-speed roads through their habitats.

Yes. Cheetahs are endangered cats, but are fully protected by laws.

Cheetahs are not native to Canada and can as such not be endangered there.
African wild dogs, cheetahs, and rhinoceroses are just three. I believe there are more.
The impacts of the cheetahs becoming endangered means that the eco-system in the cheetah's region becomes thrown off. The food that the cheetah eats will become overgrown. The animals that eat the cheetah will have less food.
They have bin endangered for 7 years so far (2015). Cheetahs were added to the endangered species list in 2008.

There are at least 9,000 to 12,000 cheetahs in the world. In 2011, an estimate was that 12,400 cheetahs remain in the wild in twenty-five African countries. The country of Namibia has the most, about 2,500 animals.
