Return of Cheetah

The original plan was to reintroduce the cheetah in 2021; the agenda was delayed because of the second wave of Covid-19. Seventy years after the creature was officially declared to be extinct in the country, it will be reintroduced in the national parks in Sheopur and Morena districts of the Gwalior-Chambal regions of Madhya Pradesh. This will be the world’s first inter-continental cheetah translocation project.
