Cheetah Reintroduction in India

[Ovie11]

State committee will come to explore the possibilities of African cheetahs

Sheopur In order to settle African cheetahs in India, the state government has also started preparations after the Supreme Court passed the order in the project built 10 years ago. Under this, apart from the committee set up by the Supreme Court, the State Government has also constituted a state committee, which will explore possibilities of cheetah in the Coono National Park of Sheopur in the coming days.

This committee will come to Sheopur this month and take a tour of the Kuno National Park along with an overview of the project built in that time and will also take stock of the ground systems. For this, a letter from the Government level has also come to the Kuno forest division. Although the dates have not been decided yet, first the state committee will come to Kuno, after that the committee constituted by the Supreme Court will visit.

The committee constituted by Madhya Pradesh includes APCCF Jasvir Singh Chauhan, Project Officer Pench Vikram Singh, DFO Norodehi and SFRI Professor Anirudh Majumdar. This committee will assess the compatibility of African cheetahs in the sanctuary of Naurodehi in Madhya Pradesh as well as in Kuno.

Report to Supreme Court in four months

The Supreme Court has given permission to bring African cheetahs to India on January 28. The Supreme Court, in its order, has allowed cheetahs to be introduced in one of Rajasthan's sanctuaries, including the state's Kuno National Park and Nourodehi, for which a three-member committee has been set up, which will submit its report to the court in four months. The committee consists of former Wildlife India Director Ranjit Singh, Director General of Wildlife India Dhananjay Mohan and Wildlife DIG in the Ministry of Environment and Forests.

The project was built 10 years ago

It is reported that in 2010, the Central Government had requested to allow the African Cheetah to be brought to India and said that Indian Cheetahs have gone extinct. Although the Supreme Court had raided the project in the year 2012, the NTCA again filed a petition on it in the year 2018. The Kuno National Park (for the time being the Kuno Sanctuary) was also included in this project. Although Kuno has been established as the second home of the Asiatic lions, the Gujarat government is still reluctant to give lions.

While the Central Committee for African Cheetahs has been formed after the Supreme Court's order, a committee has also been formed at the state level, which is likely to visit Sheopur in the same month and visit Coono National Park.
