Cheetah Reintroduction in India

[Ovie11]

A plan to rehabilitate cheetah in Mewar forests


Udaipur, Subhash Sharma. Cheetah: Seven decades ago efforts are being made to rehabilitate extinct cheetahs from India. For this, the forest areas which are considered to be suitable, include the forest area of Udaipur (Mewar) division. It is believed that cheetahs will be able to live in the Chittorgarh district of the division and in the forests of Bhainsrodgarh, extending up to Madhya Pradesh. If everything goes according to the plan prepared, then African cheetahs will be seen running in Chittorgarh and the plains forest area of Madhya Pradesh. The Deputy Conservator of Chittorgarh, Suganaram, says that preparations are underway to rehabilitate the cheetah in Chittorgarh. Cheetahs brought from Namibia are settled here, it is a matter of pride not only for the region but for Rajasthan as a whole. 

Cheetah requires open and plain forest, which is present in Bhainsrodgarh. The Ministry of Forest, Environment and Climate has released the budget to bring cheetahs. The forest of Chittorgarh is favorable for Cheetah Wildlife expert Dr. Satish Sharma explains that the forest areas of Chittorgarh are better for Cheetah. The cheetah needs a long path to run. He runs at a speed of 80 to 130 kilometers per hour. 

Also plan to settle tiger

Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary, which is located in Pali district under Rajsamand district of Udaipur division, is still known for bears and leopards. Work is going on on the plan to settle tigers here. Tiger T-24 was to be shifted from Sajjangarh Biological Park in Udaipur, but the plan came to a halt after he killed female tiger Damini in January. In Kumbhalgarh, all preparations for shifting tiger have already been completed there. 


Significantly, in a joint study of international researchers, Indian scientists have assessed the possibility of reintroducing the extinct leopard from India to its wild habitat in the country. In this study, scientists have tried to know to what extent an African cheetah can adapt itself to Indian conditions. Researchers have also found huge differences in the evolutionary order of Asian and African cheetahs in this genetic study.
