Cheetah Reintroduction in India

[Ovie11]

African cheetah will roam in the forests of Uttarakhand? 

After the Supreme Court has allowed to bring African cheetahs to Indian sanctuaries, preparations are now being made to bring African cheetah to Madhya Pradesh. The Wildlife Institute of India Dehradun had chosen Kuno Palpur and Nauradehi Sanctuary for this project. Uttarakhand Chief Conservator of Forest, Jairaj says that if the use of African cheetah in Madhya Pradesh is successful, then cheetah will also be considered in Uttarakhand. Learn the interesting history of cheetah in India in the special report of ETV India. 

First of all, let us tell you that there is no cheetah in the country. In the year 1948, the cheetah was last seen in the jungle of Surguja. Given this, the central government is now trying to bring the cheetah back to the country. In this connection, Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun had chosen Kuno Palpur and Nauradehi Sanctuary of Madhya Pradesh for this project. Because both the sanctuaries have long open grasslands and cheetahs need small wildlife and long open fields to hunt. 

The existence of cheetahs ended due to hunting and export,

the main reason for the extinction of cheetahs in India was their maximum hunting during the time of kings and emperors. A large number of leopard skins were also exported during the British period. Not only this, during Raja-Maharaja and British era, influential people used to hunt cheetahs for their elegance and showmanship. Due to which, the species of leopard gradually went extinct from the country. But now the desire to restore the extinct leopard to the country has intensified. So now people need to understand that the concept of development cannot be done by eliminating bio diversity at all. 

There are already lions and leopards together in the natural conflict of lions and leopards. Not only this, when there were cheetahs in Madhya Pradesh, lions, tigers and wildlife were also present there. But there is a natural part between a lion and a leopard. Therefore, a creature that is powerful wins. But it is not at all the case that lions and cheetahs will not be able to walk together or live together. 

Scientific study before placing a wild animal Before the  

cheetah is restored in the country, you need to know that the cheetah cannot be kept anywhere like this. For this, old history is researched and scientific study is prepared. Only then it is decided to place the cheetah whether it is suitable for him or not. Not only this, if any creature is brought from one place to another, it is not left directly in the forest, instead it is first kept in enclosures so that it will gradually adopt that culture. After this, the animals are then released soft in the forest. 

Chief Conservator of Forests of Uttarakhand, being brought into the country as an experiment, Jairaj said that it is a welcome proposal that the Supreme Court has approved to bring Cheetah from Africa. Under this, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh is a good place, where there used to be leopards. Talking of records, before 1950, India used to cheetah in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. After this, leopards became extinct from the country. He told that if African cheetah arrives in India, climate change is already present here. In such a situation, the cheetah that will be brought from Africa will be experimented in some way, because only a few cheetahs will be brought into the country. He said that if the experiment of bringing African cheetah in Madhya Pradesh is successful, then it will be considered to bring cheetah in Uttarakhand too. 

The introduction of African cheetah in the forested areas of Uttarakhand will not only increase the number of wildlife, but it will also be very important in terms of biodevelopment. In such a situation, it will have to be seen how Uttarakhand Forest Department will be able to bring this leopard to Uttarakhand like other provinces?
