Cheetah Reintroduction in India

[Ovie11]

Scientists will decide whether the Cheetah will come to the Gandhisagar sanctuary 

Whether or not the leopards will come from Africa, Iran, Namibia or any other country in the Gandhisagar sanctuary located in the district - it has not been decided yet. It will be decided by a team of scientists from the Wildlife Institute of India. The team will visit the sanctuary in the last week of November. The team will visit four sanctuaries in the state. After that it will be decided whether the roar of cheetahs will erupt in the Gandhisagar sanctuary. However, the Forest Department has gathered in its preparation. A target has been set to bring 500 chital from Rajgarh district to the Gandhisagar forest area and so far 18 chital have been left here. They are being brought here for hunting leopards and other carnivorous creatures.  

The claim of Gandhisagar Sanctuary seems to be the strongest in settling cheetahs in MP. Nestled amidst the Aravalli mountain ranges, this natural sanctuary has everything that wild animals need. There are grasslands here, there are kandaras in the mountain. Apart from this, there is also dense forest. Spread over an area of about 368 sq km, the sanctuary also contains Kher, Ber, Palash and other species. Apart from this, the most important is a reservoir filled with unfathomable water. 

 After the Supreme Court gave approval to the Cheetah project of the Government of India, now the selection of a place for cheetah from Gandhisagar Sanctuary in Mandsaur district, Kuno Palpur National Park in Sheopur district, Nauradehi Sanctuary of Sagar, Madhav National Park in Shivpuri Have to be. The government has considered these four places to be inhabited by the leopard. Now in the last week of November, a team of scientists from the Wildlife Institute of India will visit all the four places including Gandhisagar and decide which place is suitable for cheetahs. However, even if the committee chooses here, it will take about three years for the cheetahs to arrive. 

There are more than 50 leopards, hyena, 225 species of birds in the sanctuary 

About 50 leopards were found in the Gandhisagar sanctuary at the last count about two years ago. Apart from this, hyena, wild fox are also in plenty. The rest are also small wildlife. As many as 225 species of birds have been found in the bird census this year. The forest department has already started managing their food in the plan to settle the cheetahs here. For this, deer species is being brought here and settled here. 

Work is on to start a cheetah in India. A team of wildlife scientists can visit Gandisagar in the last week of November. It will be decided on their report whether the leopard will come to Gandhisagar or not. Till now we have brought 18 chital in Gandhisagar. There is a plan to bring 500 chital here. - Sanjay Kumar Chauhan, Forest Officer, Mandsaur
