Cheetah Reintroduction in India

[Ovie11]

Center surveyed Guru Ghasidas National Park for Cheetah and asked for report


The practice of bringing cheetah from South Africa has started in the country. The process accelerated following the Supreme Court's order. The Central Government has written a letter to the Forest Department asking for a report from the Forest Department after surveying the nature of living and eating of cheetah in Guru Ghasidas National Park. According to department officials, the survey work will be completed soon. 

It is to be known that the cheetah species have ended in the country. The exercise was launched ten years ago to bring cheetah to the country. For this, surveys of national parks across the country were conducted to select habitat areas suitable for cheetahs brought from South Africa. The survey was conducted by Wildlife Institute of India (WII) and Wildlife Trust of India (WTI). Guru Ghasidas National Park was selected in the survey, but due to the passage of ten years, the Central Government has written a letter to conduct the survey again. 


What have changed in ten years

The Central Government has issued a letter asking the Forest Department, how the Guru Ghasidas National Park has changed after the survey conducted ten years ago. What are the chances of a cheetah living there? How can the cheetah live area be upgraded. The Forest Department prepared a long term plan for this. If any other place is suitable, also tell where the leopard can live easily. It is also written that the officers of the forest department should join full power for this and give information as soon as possible. 

Cheetahs did not appear in the country after 1948

In India, the last three cheetahs were killed in 1948 by Maharaja Ramanuja Pratap Singhdev in the forested area of Ramgarh village in Korea. This was the last occurrence of cheetah in Korea district and all over India. 


Discussion of Africa being brought from Namibia

According to forest department sources, a meeting was held in Delhi regarding suitable sanctuaries for cheetahs. After that the National Tiger Conservation Authority also sought details of all these. A total of 20 cheetahs are expected to be brought from Africa to Namibia under the plan, although only two or three can be brought in the first batch.
