Project Cheetah
Scientific India|September - October 2022
Hunted to extinction in India by 1952, the big cat is now being reintroduced in the country. Will the world's first intercontinental translocation of a carnivore in the wild work?
Project Cheetah

It's amazing that after 70 years Icheetahs are back in India. We are excited. If we can save the cheetah, we can change the world. And we hope India is going to be a success story although it's going to take time, 10 years or longer. Once an animal goes extinct, it takes a lot to work and a lot of time to bring it back.

Eight cheetahs - five females and three males are getting transferred to India from Namibia, Africa. Prime Minister Narendra Modi releases these eight big cats in Kuno National Park (KNP), situated in Madhya Pradesh, on September 17, 2022.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between India and the Republic of Namibia in July 2020, wherein the Namibian government agreed to donate eight felines to launch the programme.
