RE: Next in line for extinction: The Asiatic cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus venaticus), a subspecies of cheetah that have less than 50 individuals left in the wild

The habitat is also a problem, considering the social and financial isolation Iran is currently facing for obvious reasons...So much access problems considering the foreign policy issues of Islamic Republic...
I live in Pakistan so I am very interested in finding out if Asiatic cheetah once lived in Pak-Iran border areas...
May be we can introduce a few breeding pairs in Pak-Iran border areas(Baluchistan), it is very desolate and arrangements for food can be made.

Yeah, you're right. Loosing its original habitat is a big problem for both the Asian cheetah and many other species in the region.

It would be really cool to bring it back to the border regions of Pakistan and Iran, but I have a feeling that the Iranian government are not to keen on giving more of them away to another country anymore.

That is where we need to leave our petty differences behind us for the greater good!!!
