Gamini's Triumph: Three New Cheetah Cubs Born at Kuno National Park

Cheetah 'Gamini' at Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh has successfully given birth to three cubs, boosting India's cheetah population to 38. This event marks a milestone in the government's ambitious cheetah re-introduction programme, hailed by Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav as a testament to India's conservation efforts.

Gamini, originally translocated from South Africa as part of a project launched in 2022, represents a major stride in efforts to revive the cheetah population, which had previously gone extinct in the region. The arrival of new cubs signals a positive trend with India's born-in-the-wild cheetah count reaching 27.

Field staff and veterinary teams' untiring efforts are recognized as essential to this conservation success. As India celebrates this historic achievement in wildlife conservation, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav emphasizes Madhya Pradesh's role as a pivotal center in the cheetah reintroduction initiative.
