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.
Chester Cheetah was created in 1986.

The two types of Cheetah are the African Cheetah and the Asiatic Cheetah. The African Cheetah is now only found in the wild in the sub-Saharan part of Africa, while the Asiatic Cheetah is only found in Northern Iran.
A hunting leopard is better known as an Asiatic Cheetah (Iranian cheetah and even Indian cheetah (but might be extinct)).
Two subspecies of cheetah are endangered - the northwest African cheetah and the Asiatic cheetah. The other subspecies are considered vulnerable.
Overall, the cheetah is not listed as endangered but vulnerable. Only the Northwest African cheetah and the Asiatic cheetah are considered critically endangered.
The Asiatic cheetah, also known as the Iranian cheetah, is the most endangered species of cheetah. It is estimated that there are fewer than 50 Asiatic cheetahs left in the wild, primarily in Iran. The primary threats to their survival include habitat loss, poaching, and lack of prey. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and protect this critically endangered species.
The Northwest African cheetah and the Asiatic cheetah are listed as endangered.
Two subspecies of the cheetah are considered as critically endangered: the Asiatic cheetah and the northwest African cheetah. The species, as a whole, is considered as vulnerable and not endangered.

There is only one species of cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus. However, there are different subspecies, such as the Asiatic cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus venaticus) and the Southern African cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus).
