Union Forest Minister: Cheetah Revival Project Officials To Be Sent On Study Tours To Namibia And SA

Union Forest Minister Bhupender Yadav has stated that officials participating in the cheetah revival project will be sent on research tours to Namibia and South Africa, where the felines were brought to the Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh.

Yadav stated he would visit the KNP, which is situated in the Sheopur district, on June 6 during his meeting with MP Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan here on Monday.

According to the Union minister, funds and other logistical support necessary for the safety, preservation, and regeneration of felines would be provided.

Incidentally, since March of this year, six cheetahs have passed away at the KNP.

Early this month, Jwala the cheetah lost three of her four babies. Sasha, a translocated Namibian cheetah, passed away on March 27 from a kidney condition, while Uday, a South African cheetah, passed away on April 13.

Cheetah Daksha, who had been imported from South Africa, passed away from her wounds on May 9 after a combative encounter with a male cheetah after an attempt at mating.

Cheetahs are being prepared for a new home at the Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary in MP, according to Yadav, who also noted that the KNP has fewer cheetahs than it can accommodate.The tragic deaths of the three cheetah cubs upset CM. Chouhan, he claimed.

Although cheetah baby survival rates are dismal globally, he claimed that his administration would take all possible measures to safeguard the safety of the great cats.

On September 17 of last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took eight Namibian cheetahs, five of which were female and three of which were male, to the KNP and released them into designated enclosures as a part of a comprehensive programme for the species’ restoration.

Eventually, in February of this year, 12 cheetahs—seven males and five females—were transported to the national park from South Africa.
