There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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.
I am not Indian, but for what it's worth, I personally do not think that African cheetahs should be introduced in India. What's more, there is something I don't understand. There are many Asiatic lions living in zoos in India, why not breed some of them in a dedicated breeding program and then release the progeny in the wild. Couldn't that bypass the Gujarat government altogether? Given the relatively short generation time of lions, they could have a decent wild population outside Gujarat by now if they had been breeding captive ones for reintroduction. Once the population is large enough, they could trade with Iran - some of the lions for Asiatic cheetahs.
