Abstract
The Conservation of the Asiatic Cheetah Project CACP in Iran has reached by 2016 some degree of achievements for 63% of the activities proposed in the 2010-2014 Action Plan. The objectives related to capacity building, protection and law enforcement could be considered reached, whereas those linked to policy, economics, monitoring and land use planning were in general less achieved. CACP operation
suffered from low and unstable funding, frequently changing leadership at the Department of Environment DoE level, weakly responsive administrations, a lack of collaboration between national partners and a rather complex and sometimes confusing Action Plan. Despite a reasonably high level of achievement of activities proposed by the 2010-2014 Action Plan, the Asiatic cheetah Acinonyx jubatus venaticus remains Critically Endangered. A review of threats and actions should be considered for the next Action Plan.
