There is no such thing as an Amur Cheetah, only Amur Leopards and Amur Tigers. Both are from the Russia-Siberia area. If you are referring to Amur Leopards, humans from Russia need space to live. Hence, they are pushing back the Amur Tigers and forcing the Amur Tigers into the Amur Leopards' habitat. Since the tiger is larger and stronger (physically more dominant) than the leopard, and both are soliditary animals (unless it is mating season), the leopards are being pushed into smaller habitats and seperated from each other. This not only makes it tough for the Amur Leopards to survive, but also to mate. The genetic pool available for mating is really small, so Amur Leopards are dying off. Unless immediate actions are taken, it is tough for the Amur Leopards to survive on their own.

Yes, due to habitat loss, loss of prey, hunting & poaching, genetic factor, and use in hunting.
