Cheetah was once found widely across all of Africa extending eastwards into Asia as far as India. However hunting, habitat destruction and loss of prey has meant that Cheetah is now only found in select countries in high density in Africa. Namibia has the world's highest wild Cheetah population. Organizations in South Africa are also active at boosting their Cheetah numbers. Asiatic Cheetah is critically endangered with roughly one hundred individual animals left, predominantly in Iran and to an extent in western Pakistan. Cheetah is extinct in India. Attempts by Indian wild life officials at reintroducing the Asiatic Cheetah in the wild by borrowing a Cheetah couple and/or cloning the Cheetah by obtaining their samples from Iran have met with a cold response from the regime. Of the current population, five subspecies of Cheetah exist, classified according to their range:
Acinonyx Jubatus Hecki - West Africa
Acinonyx Jubatus Jubatus - Southern Africa
Acinonyx Jubatus Raineyii - East Africa
Acinonyx Jubatus Soemmeringii - Central Asia
Acinonyx Jubatus Venaticus - Iran
