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.
