On 28 February, Project Cheetah got a boost after nine cheetahs were brought to Madhya Pradesh from Botswana. The new batch comprised six female and three male cheetahs, which were flown on an Indian Air Force aircraft for over 10 hours.<\/p>\n
The environment minister said that with the birth of the Indian litter, the total number of cheetahs in India has reached 53.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis achievement reflects the dedicated efforts, skill, and commitment of the veterinarians, field staff and all involved who continue to work tirelessly on the ground,\u201d Yadav\u2019s post read.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s Project Cheetah \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Project\u00a0Cheetah\u00a0in India began in September 2022, with the first batch of eight\u00a0cheetahs \u2014 five females and three males \u2014 being flown in from Namibia.<\/p>\n
In February 2023, another batch of 12\u00a0cheetahs\u00a0was brought under a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the Union Ministry for Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) and the government of South Africa.<\/p>\n
The reintroduction of the large feline in India has not been entirely smooth. Out of the 20\u00a0cheetahs\u00a0that were brought to the country from Namibia and South Africa, nine adults died in India due to various reasons. Ten cubs born in India also died during infancy.<\/p>\n
The authorities, however, are hopeful that despite the setbacks, the new batch\u00a0gives Project\u00a0Cheetah\u00a0a much-needed push.<\/p>\n
