A series of unbelievable mistakes can cause the extinction of the Persian cheetah as soon as possible.

PAZH | Two Persian Cheetah cubs have died and the third cub and their mother are in danger of death.

The Asiatic cheetah survives in protected areas in the eastern-central arid region of Iran, where the human population density is very low.
Between December 2011 and November 2013, 84 individuals were sighted in 14 different protected areas, and 82 individuals were identified from camera trap photographs.

In December 2017, fewer than 50 individuals were thought to be remaining in three subpopulations that are scattered over 140,000 km2 (54,000 sq mi) in Iran’s central plateau.

As of January 2022, the Iranian Department of Environment estimates that only 12 Asiatic cheetahs, 9 males, and 3 females, are left in Iran.
In order to raise international awareness for the conservation of the Asiatic cheetah, an illustration was used on the jerseys of the Iran national football team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

The Asiatic cheetah in India

The Asiatic cheetah diverged from the cheetah population in Africa between 32,000 and 67,000 years ago.

During the British rule in India, it was called hunting leopard, a name derived from the ones that were kept in captivity in large numbers by Indian royalty to use for hunting wild antelopes.

A four-year-old female cheetah named Iran will be the savior of the Iranian cheetah.
Cheetahs have the highest stillbirth rate among cats, But Iran gave birth to three cheetah cubs.

One of these triplets died due to a congenital anomaly, but the Iranian community is happy with the increased chance of survival of this beautiful creature.

There are still significant challenges to the survival of the cheetah. Will Iran give milk to its cubs? Can cubs have a normal life? How effective is the sex of cubs in the continuation of the Iranian cheetah breed?
