Cheetah Reintroduction in India

[Ovie11]

Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary is the most suitable place for Cheetah after Kuno 

The plan to settle African cheetah in Madhya Pradesh seems to be on the rise. The Sub Committee of the Central Empowered Committee, which has been visiting the state from November 23 to December 3, 2020, has considered Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary of Malwanchal as the most suitable place for cheetahs after Kuno Palpur. At the same time, possibilities have also been told in Mukundara Hills National Park in Rajasthan. In a report sent to the National Tiger Conservation Authority, the committee has said that there is some work to be done in all areas, on which the amount will be spent. If the state governments are ready for this, then with the consent, tell so that efforts can be made to establish cheetah in the selected areas only. 

Sub committee led by Dr. YV Jhala, Senior Scientist of Wildlife Institute of India Dehradun, in 11 days, Kano Palpur in Sheopur, Madhya Pradesh, Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary spread in Mandsaur-Neemuch districts, Madhav National Park in Shivpuri, Nauradehi Sanctuary in Sagar district Along with Mukundara Hills and Shergarh Sanctuary in Rajasthan. 

Of these, the most likely to settle the cheetah was seen only in Kuno Palpur and Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary. The committee also considered Mukundara Hills as above, because there is a fence for the protection of cheetahs. The committee has suggested that the fence can also be used to bring cheetahs from Africa and keep it here first.

The committee has said that some work has to be done in all the protected areas. Channeling fencing has to be done somewhere, then somewhere cheetah will have to make arrangements for food. For this, shifting and water arrangements of vegetarian wildlife will have to be made in these areas. Some places will have to prepare grass forests. Among all, Kuno Palpur is the only area which has the least expense. 

Leopard will be kept in more than one place 

The last cheetah was seen in the country in 1948. An attempt to resettle this species started, so it was decided that leopards coming from Africa should not be settled in one place. Two or three places have to be selected so that after coming here this species is not harmed due to any fatal disease or climate change. The committee also looked at the arrangements for food and water in the selected protected areas. How many square km of open area there are vegetarian wildlife.
