Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

International Cheetah Day is observed every year on December 4 to raise awareness about the challenges faced by cheetahs, including habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. Established by the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF), the day honours Khayam, a cheetah cub rescued by Dr. Laurie Marker. It highlights the importance of cheetah conservation efforts and encourages global participation in protecting this critically endangered species. With fewer than 7,000 cheetahs remaining in the wild, the day aims to inspire actions such as habitat restoration and breeding programs.
