The cheetah as a whole was declared as endangered by the usa as recently as 2008.
However the cheetah can definitely be classed as endangered and has been so for a long time. Currently the number of cheetah in the world is estimated at 7500.
Cheetah lost most of their weight in the rush to become fast. As such they cannot defend their kills from almost any animal. This means that they cope very badly in reserves with other large mammals. An example of this is South Africa, where the protected area has about 200 cheetah but the rest of south Africa have perhaps another 800.
Cheetah live at very low densities everywhere and so it takes a huge reserve to have a viable population (Kruger national park in south Africa is the size of wales but has a total of 200 wild cheetah and cannot support more).
Cheetah were once found across Africa Asia southan Europe and America. If you compare this to current numbers they have been endangered for thousands of years.
It is only over the last 100 years though that the number of cheetah has crashed. The Asian population numbers 100 or so as does the saharan population.
Lots of information I know, but it really isn't a question to be easily answered
