Cheetah Theater Caravan started its expeditions to educate local hunters and herders about the cheetah and its biology in various habitats in Iran. After initial presentation by the ICS biologists, people watch the theater and then, they have opportunity to watch few more films and slide shows about the animals in their nearby areas. Meanwhile, local authorities give short presentation about importance of their area and how they would like to support conservation efforts. The first expedition was held in late November 2010 in central Iran. The cheetah theater is a joint effort between the Iranian Cheetah Society (ICS), Conservation of Asiatic Cheetah Project (CACP) and Iranian Department of Environment and plans to cover most of local communities until the end of coming winter.
