Iran and India: work together to save cheetahs

by Philippa Kaur 18 October 2022, 00:00 179 Views

The Asiatic cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus venaticus) once roamed throughout the Middle East and central India. Today there remain only an estimated 20 free-ranging individuals in central Iran and 5 in captivity. International economic sanctions against Iran have had devastating effects on its cheetah conservation and management (see go.nature.com/3suohzb; in Farsi). To help overcome these effects, we suggest that Iran work with the Indian government, which is conducting a rewilding programme for cheetahs.
