endangered species paragraph 3

    To help combat the sharply declining cheetah populations, countries in Africa have placed them under protection under the law in areas where they still exist and some areas of its historic range. These laws do still allow for farmers to kill cheetahs in order to protect their farm animals (Durant). The government sometimes offer incentives to farmers to promote coexistence with the animal. These countries also have monitored, protected land and parks, as well as educate the community. In Iran, the Asian Cheetah is protected within 5 national parks and wildlife refuges, and in 2009 the Afghan government made all hunting and trading illegal even though it may be extinct in the country.
