The cheetah's biggest problem is the depth of its species gene pool. Most of the cheetah population is closely related genetically. It will be difficult for them to conceive healthy offspring.
The next and equally serious problem is a shrinking habitat. With pressure from man’s need for more farmland and places to build cities the cheetah and many other species will be pushed to the edge of extinction. However, a great many cheetahs already live in public and private zoos.

In the past the were hunted I think,and they are having trouble fitting in with their enviroment.Their territories are also the territories of lions,and lions usually kill cheetahs so that food in their territory is abundent.Since cheetahs are the weakest from the 4 big cats,they are not successful fighting lions and usually lose and are killed by lions.They usually give up their hunt to other animals to avoid fighting.Lions dont only kill adult cheetahs,but will also kill baby ones.The mothers do try to defend their cubs,but eventually gives up.But sometimes cheetah mothers hide their cubs from lions and other pedators.Even raptors like eagles will kill and eat baby cheetahs if they get the chance.So for these reasons they are becoming extinct,like adults being killed as well as cubs,and as food is also scarce.

cheetah is one of the endangered species in the world,
they become extinct from few locations like india
they have very small gene pool becoz the cheetahs which are surviving are from one single couple who survived from natural calamity in past
