Teams from Namibia and South Africa to see the habitat of cheetahs in the Kuno National Park have returned after being satisfied with the preparedness and security here.

If all goes well, in the last week of August or the first week of September, the roar of cheetahs will be heard in Kuno. On Friday morning, the team will go to Mukundra in Rajasthan and then to Gandhi Sagar National Park in Mandsaud. The team will also take stock of the preparations being made for the habitat of cheetahs here.

Let us inform here that on Tuesday, expert Dr. Lari Marker from Namibia, Vincent from South Africa, Dr. Adrien Dehradun had come to Kuno Park along with senior scientists of Indian Wildlife Institute Dr. YV Jhala and Vipin. On Tuesday, the team had only seen the enclosure made for the cheetahs from outside. Whereas on Wednesday, he had come to see the enclosure from inside. The team found small shortcomings in four-five places, which were asked by DFO PK Verma to rectify them. The team really liked the structure of the water bodies built in the enclosure for the cheetahs to drink. The management had made water sources in the enclosure through the Gajlar system. For example, a Gajlar system (Bolnuma) has been installed in the water source made in the form of a cistern, as soon as the water becomes less than the source, the water will automatically turn on and will turn off after filling.
