The objective of the festival is to spread awareness about wildlife conservation among the present generation.

American zoologist Dr Laurie Marker is credited with creating International Cheetah Day. Dr Marker founded the Cheetah Conservation Fund in 1991 and he designated 4 December as International Cheetah Day in 2010. Since that year, the world is celebrating this day.
