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.

Yes. The cheetah is threatened by habitat loss and hunting for their spotted pelt. They are also sometimes killed by farmers protecting their livestock. This species is protected by the law, and the American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums is dedicated to the research of breeding the species for preservation.
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.
