Madhya Pradesh government intensifies preparations to bring cheetah, forest officials went to South Africa

The Indian government may sign a contract with the government of Namibia or South Africa next week to bring cheetah to the country. In view of this preparation, the Madhya Pradesh government has also intensified the preparations to bring cheetah. A team of forest officials and experts left for South Africa on Sunday. This team will also go to Namibia. The team will stay there for about 10 days and take other technical training including cheetah care. In the first phase, 12 cheetahs can be brought.

The team includes DIG Rajendra Darbar of National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), Forest Division Officer (DFO) of Kuno Palpur National Park, Prakash Verma, ACF Amritanshu Singh, Dr. Onkar Zone. Chief Wildlife Custodian of Madhya Pradesh JS Chauhan told that the team will take training to take care of the cheetah, make it unconscious and take care of their health so that there is no problem in their care after being settled in Kuno Palpur. Sources reveal that NTCA and senior state forest officials are also in constant talks with top officials of the Namibian government. They had also agreed to give the cheetah, but due to one condition, the Government of India withdrew.

The Namibian government wanted the support of the Indian government against Sitis (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species). The organization works internationally for wildlife conservation and the Namibian government allows cheetahs to be slaughtered and sold for their parts. In this matter, the institution has put pressure on Namibia. No other country is supporting him in this. Experts say that Namibia is now removing this condition.

Cheetah expected to arrive by August

Amidst the new equations, 12 cheetahs are expected to come to Madhya Pradesh by August. Officials say that after the contract is done next week, preparations will start to bring the cheetah. How the cheetah will be brought, what will be the way etc. is almost decided, just waiting for the contract.
