Since initiation of cheetah national monitoring program aiming to understand demographic status of the Asiatic cheetah in Iran, a family has been explored in Miandasht Wildlife Refuge, northeastern Iran composing of three cubs in summer 2012.
Recent monitoring program in Naybadan Wildlife Refuge indicated that the cheetah population is stable. Hosted by Naybadan core zone which is part of the larger 14,000 km2 Naybandan Wildlife Refuge, no more than three individuals have been explored.
As 7th year of celebration, Cheetah Day Festival is going to be held since 7 to 9 August in Tehran. The festival is organized by the Iranian Cheetah Society (ICS) in partnership with Iran Department of Environment and Iran Khodro.
Recent investigation in northeastern Iran has shown that the Asiatic cheetahs are heavily dependent to medium-sized prey for their survival and smaller mammals cannot meet their food demands. Accordingly, more than 80% of the biomass consumed by the cheetahs comprised of ungulates.
The brown bear has been less investigated within its vast range in the Middle East as well as Caucasus, unlike other parts of its global range in Eurasia and North America.
Ongoing monitoring program has revealed interesting images of multiple cases of wolf depredation on goitered gazelles
According to a recent investigation, the Asiatic cheetahs normally live longer in areas which are enough large. Analysis of more than 100 cheetah individuals recorded during past decade in Iran indicates that reserves size and integrity can contribute to more survival of the Asiatic cheetahs in Iran.
The first general encyclopedia for Iranian elementary learners was published by Talaee Publication Co. with close scientific cooperation of the Iranian Cheetah Society (ICS).
A large family of Asiatic cheetahs has been photo-trapped in Miandasht Wildlife Refuge in north-eastern Iran. During an ongoing intensive monitoring of the cheetahs by means of camera traps in Miandasht Wildlife Refuge, the group was photographed.
