Arvind Pandey. new Delhi. Wildlife experts are on the hunt for Mufid Thaur in the midst of an attempt to resettle the completely extinct cheetah from the country. Currently, the most suitable place for cheetahs found in them is Velavadar National Park in Gujarat. Which is currently identified as Blackbuck Sanctuary. Which is also the favorite food of the cheetah. In such a situation, it can be considered as the new home of the cheetah. Apart from this, the eyes are on some other sanctuaries. Two of them are also from Madhya Pradesh.


A meeting was held under the direction of the Supreme Court to resettle the cheetah in the country. 

Meanwhile, a three-member committee constituted by the Supreme Court, headed by wildlife expert Dr MK Ranjit Singh, has also held its first meeting on March 6 to rehabilitate the cheetah in the country. Which took place at the headquarters of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA). The main focus was on the proper location of the cheetah. 

20 cheetahs will be brought from Namibia in Africa

In the meantime there was a discussion about all the suitable sanctuaries for the cheetah. Also asked for details of all these from NTCA. According to sources, a total of 20 cheetahs will be brought under Namibia from Africa under the scheme. However, only three to four will be brought in the first lot.

Cheetah's favorite place in the meeting was called Velavadar National Park in Gujarat. 

According to sources, the sanctuary which has been discussed the most in view of the choice of cheetah, includes Velavadar National Park in Gujarat. The park is currently flat and has a good grassland. Which is suitable for filling cheetah races. Also, Black Buck is also the most favorite cheetah food in them. 

Three more sanctuaries are in focus, but locals are opposed to cheetah settlement

Along with this, the other three sanctuaries which are focused on are the Kuno Palpur and Nauradehi Sanctuary of Madhya Pradesh. Among them, Kuno Palpur is more suited to Cheetah, but many wildlife experts and locals are also opposing settling Cheetah there. He says that it has been developed in terms of Asian lions. Along with this, its dispute is still pending in the Supreme Court.

No decision will be taken in a hurry regarding cheetah settlement 

The presence of villages around Nauradehi Sanctuary is also causing concern for wildlife. In any case, the government which has suffered the displacement of villages in Koons, does not want to get caught in them. Along with this, focus is also on Shahgarh in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. At present, no decision will be taken in a hurry. Studies are also being done around the world to study the habitat of wildlife.
