Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

India Set To Reintroduce Cheetahs By August


India is all set to introduce cheetahs from South Africa in a wildlife sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh by August as part of attempts to rehabilitate the species that had become extinct from the country.

A top environment ministry official said a special 10 sq km enclosure for cheetahs has been readied at the Kuno-Palpur National Park in Madhya Pradesh and would soon be home to at least six cheetahs that would be brought here from South Africa.

“The agreement with South Africa is in place and is being vetted by the legal cell,” he said.

Talks were also on with Namibia for introducing cheetahs from there in India, but have hit a roadblock over certain issues related to hunting.

“We plan to introduce 8-10 cheetahs every year and take the number to 50 over a five-year period,” he said.

A team from South Africa is visiting Kuno Palpur next week to examine the arrangements made for the cheetahs.

Discussions to bring the cheetah back to India were initiated in 2009 by the Wildlife Trust of India.

Cheetah is the only large carnivore that got completely wiped out from India, mainly due to over-hunting and habitat loss.

The Supreme Court had appointed an expert panel, which approved Kuno Palpur as the possible location for cheetah relocation.
