Non-renewable resource

Explanation:

The cheetahs can be considered a non-renewable resource. Non-renewable implies that a resource cannot be replenished at it current rate of depletion.

How much has the cheetah's population declined:

percentage declination = $\frac{Population in 1990}{Population today}$ x 100

Population in 1990 = 100,000

Population today = 12,000

Percentage declination = $\frac{100000}{12000}$ x 100 = 83.3%

We can see that the cheetah has suffered a whooping 83.3% decline in their population.

A renewable resource is one that can be replenished as it is being used such as water, air, e.t.c.
