Cheetah Reintroduction in India

[Ovie11]

14 Cheetahs to come to Madhya Pradesh for Cheetah project, in November 

Madhya Pradesh will be the home of the cheetahs being brought from South Africa. The Government of India has stamped this. The Forest Department has received the approval of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) on Wednesday. In the first phase, by the end of November, 14 cheetahs will be brought, which will be settled in Kuno Palpur National Park. The Government of India will provide Rs 14 crore for initial preparations in the park. In anticipation of receiving this amount, the park management has started preparations. 

The cheetah is returning after 73 years in the country. The sub-committee of the Supreme Court's Empowerment Committee had explored possibilities of settling cheetah in Madhya Pradesh as well as in Jharkhand and Rajasthan, but the most favorable place was found to be Kuno Palpur. The climate and geographical location of the park was described by the scientists as totally cheetah. 

In view of this, the Government of India gave approval to settle the cheetahs in Kuno. The responsibility of bringing cheetahs from South Africa has been entrusted to the Endangered Wildlife Trust, Madhya Pradesh Forest Department, National Tiger Conservation Authority and Wildlife Institute of India. It is worth mentioning that the picture of Leopard with Sarguja Maharaj Ramanusharan Singh taken in the year 1947 is considered to be the last. In 1952, the Government of India declared the leopard as an extinct animal. 

Experts came in April 

Other scientists including Dr. YB Jhala, senior scientist at the Wildlife Institute of India Dehradun, have considered Kuno as a cheetah, but experts from South Africa wanted to see the arrangements here before giving the cheetah. On 26 April, expert Vincent came from there, who stayed for two days, saw the whole system and agreed. At the same time, a team of scientists from India is constantly studying in the park.
