The cheetah is even on the jersey of the iran national football team. Plus the cheetah in iran has survived all the turmoil that iran has been through till now.

Animal population will certainly rebound to normal dynamics if given sufficient help from Humans which disrupted their environment gave this situation of extinction. BTW, being the only country to have such a majestic animal still roaming extinct in other neighboring countries in the world is no less great.

The concept of Asiatic Lion is different as it's fate also would have been same like Asiatic cheetah but they are living at this moment now coz of marketing awareness among Gujarati and the desperate need to save them from extinction. Though their great and exceptional effort may go in vain at any moment due to a catastrophe due the same greediness which drove them to conserve lions.

where as Iran is concerned, the country/nation has poor economical condition and unable to afford capital for conservation of Asiatic cheetah, all they are surviving on is funds from different organizations through out the world and promoting to fund and donate money through advertising on jersey's of foot ball team and others.

Shortage/instability of funds showing immediate effect on cheetah population as you might have known that within few years, their population went from 100s to <50 now based on Individual identification and count not even that is accurate.

The condition of them is critical and though they have the potential to conserve, they lack money and their country's administration and people's mindset is not that much encouraging or supporting and showing shortsightedness on them as still cheetah are killed if they depredate or confusion with Persian leopard and died on road accidents regularly.

Hence, India took up the job by seeing the inability and bring up the prestige or glory to India's by conserving and reintroducing the only recently extinct large mammal. Reply
