New Delhi: It may have been only two years since the presence of cheetahs in India, but in this period the country has achieved such success in the conservation of cheetahs that not only countries like Namibia and South Africa, which give cheetahs to the country, are surprised, but wildlife experts from all over the world are also stunned. This success is to save more than 70 percent of cheetah cubs born in the country.

Project Cheetah faced many major setbacks in the beginning

This is the situation when the mortality rate of cheetah cubs is the highest in the whole world. That is, out of a hundred cubs born, only ten survive. In these two years, a total of 17 cubs were born in the country, out of which 12 are safe.

The Cheetah project faced many big setbacks in the beginning. One by one, many cheetahs and cubs died due to various reasons. The main reason behind this was the country's lack of experience and research regarding the maintenance of cheetahs. Indian wildlife institutes and experts took it as a challenge.

Showed interest in conservation of cheetahs

According to the report released by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) on completion of two years of the Cheetah Project, the way interest was shown in the conservation of cheetahs, it is clear that India will achieve mastery in the conservation of cheetahs as well.

Project Cheetah launched in September 2022

According to the report, based on the two-year experience of the project, other places are now being prepared to keep cheetahs. In the Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary of Madhya Pradesh, which is being prepared as the second place, all those things are being kept in mind which were not kept in Kuno. The Cheetah Project in the country was started in September 2022 by bringing eight cheetahs from Namibia. Later a consignment of 12 cheetahs was brought from South Africa in February 2023.
