A tribute to the National Cheetah Day

by pourmir October 13, 2018
written by pourmir 1 minutes read

Asiatic cheetahs are globally “Critically Endangered” according to the IUCN Red List. Iran is home to the last population of the Asiatic cheetah in the world. With a presumed population of 50 cheetah individuals at best, challenges associated with the current status of the Asiatic cheetah population include incidental killing of cheetahs by people or livestock guarding dogs, habitat fragmentation and loss of biological corridors and prey base depletion. Twelve years ago, the Iranian Cheetah Society (ICS) proposed August 31st as the “National Cheetah Day” in Iran to encourage conservation of the last remaining population of Asiatic cheetahs. The National Cheetah Day is now endorsed and celebrated by Iran Department of the Environment, Conservation of the Asiatic Cheetah Project and several Iranian NGOs every year. In honor of the Cheetah National Day, ICS releases “Save Our Cheetah” – a short video by Majid Sarhaddi, an Iranian filmmaker and friend of ICS.

This year ICS scientists joined a campaign to raise awareness of the critical status of the Asiatic cheetah in the Iranian public media. In a series of articles published in Etemaad, a leading Farsi-language daily newspaper, ICS scientists discuss the challenges and potential solutions to recover the Asiatic cheetah population. Recently, Iran Department of the Environment declared that, together with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), it is working on the draft of the third phase of the Conservation of the Asiatic Cheetah Project considering the measures proposed by national and international collaborators.

Cheetahs run around Iran, 9th day of shahrivar

by مدیر سایت September 1, 2014
written by مدیر سایت 1 minutes read

The month of Shahrivar of each year (crsp. to Aug-Sep) is a special time for all people involved in wildlife conservation in Iran. In 1386 (2007), the ninth day of Shahrivar (31 Aug.) was selected as the National Cheetah Day. The Cheetah Day provides an opportunity for the wildlife advocates to engage with the public in order to educate people about cheetahs and to draw attention to these majestic cats which are on the brink of extinction.
This year the Cheetah Day will be celebrated more actively across the country with numerous activities planned in more than 25 cities.
The Cheetah Day marks the anniversary of saving Marita, the cheetah cub which was saved by Park Rangers in 1373 (1994) near Bafgh, in central Iran. On that day, Marita’s mother and her three cubs were attacked by a couple of people not native to the area when they approached the town to find water. The mother fled injured, but unfortunately two of her cubs were killed. Marita was saved and was transferred to the Pardisan Park in Tehran, where she was living until 1383 (2004).

The Persian Leopard Newsletter is back!

by مدیر سایت August 2, 2014
written by مدیر سایت 1 minutes read
Inspired by the Persian calender’s “Year of the Leopard”, in 2010 the Iranian Cheetah Society launched a campaign to raise awareness about the dire status of Endangered Persian leopard in Iran. Iran has always been perceived as the leopard stronghold in Western Asia. However, sadly, the long-term survival of Iranian leopards is worrisome given the escalated rate of habitat and prey loss coupled with extensive human-leopard conflicts, affecting the leopard populations across the country. The “Persian Leopard Newsletter” was published during 2010-2011 to present our activities focusing on conservation of the Persian leopard in Iran.
We are delighted to inform you that the Persian Leopard Newsletter is back! Although the Year of Leopard has passed, our goal remained unchanged. As before, this newsletter will serve as our communication and awareness tool; not only to bring you a first-hand picture of our efforts in Iran, but also to draw international attention to the enigmatic Persian leopard.
