Cheetah Reintroduction in India

[Ovie11]

Nauradehi, spread over 1197 sq km, has large grasslands here, so African cheetahs can settle

Preparations for their settlement in Kuno -Palpur and Nauradehi Century of the state have intensified after the Supreme Court gave green signal to bring African cheetahs to India. A team of Wildlife Institute of India Dehradun experts has reached Nauradehi Sanctuary after Kuno. The team will explore possibilities to live cheetahs here for two days. On Tuesday, the team visited Singapore and Muhali areas of Nauradehi on the first day.

Experts appeared satisfied seeing large grasslands for cheetahs. If we look at the history of Nauradehi 80-90 years ago, cheetahs have been found to have a natural habitat here. Which makes the claim of this sanctuary stronger. After the birth of three cubs from the tiger-tigress brought here two years ago, Nauradehi has started to emerge on the map of the country. DFO told that the team will reach Sarra and Dongargaon on Wednesday. The team will leave for Dehradun on Thursday. 

Three places in the country were marked for cheetahs 

In the past, the Central Government had identified three places in the country for African cheetahs. Among them, a century is from Rajasthan besides Kuno-Palpur and Nauradehi. Apart from these, Bandhavgarh and Gandisagar have also been included as an alternative. There is an attempt to shift cheetahs in either Kuno and Nauradehi. Koono Palpur had previously planned to settle the lion of Gir. He was groomed for the lions. 

This matter got stuck. Now efforts for shifting of cheetahs started. After taking stock of Kuno-Palpur, the WII team reached Nauradehi on Monday evening. This team includes wild life expert Dr. Yavi Jhala APCCF JS Chauhan and colleagues. The team reached Dapur and then Muhli with DFO Nauradehi Rakhi Nanda and SDO Sevaram Malik at 6.30 am on Tuesday.

Know from experts, why is Nauradehi a century suitable for cheetahs 

Natural habitat: Evidence of natural habitat of cheetahs has been found in Nauradehi Sanctuary long back. Earlier it was not a different century. There has been movement of tigers here from Panna Tiger Reserve. Apart from Panna, there are about 150 km radius of Seoni, Bandhavgarh near Umaria, Kanha Tiger Reserve in Mandla. Nauradehi is considered a very suitable century in the direction of tourism. 

Area: Nauradehi Century, spread over Sagar, Dameh and Narsinghpur districts, was established in 1975. It is spread over an area of 1197 sq km. The area of Kuno National Park is 748.76 sq km. It was founded in 1981 after Nauradehi. The queen of Dameh, Durgavati Century, is also planning to go through the corridor from Nairadehi. 

Grasslands: Nauradehi Sanctuary has the highest number of open grasslands. Grounds have also been identified for keeping cheetahs in an area of about 400 sq km.

Tigers' Generation : After the birth of three cubs from tiger-tigress in Nauradehi and the three being born here, it is believed that this century is suitable for wildlife like tiger-leopard. There is also no possibility of cheetahs becoming like tiger-tigress The tiger hunts large animals while the cheetah feeds with small wildlife.
