In a significant conservation milestone, three cheetah cubs have been born at Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park, bringing India's cheetah population to 38, as announced by Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav on Wednesday.
The cubs, born to South African cheetah Gamini, mark her second successful motherhood. This event coincides with the third anniversary of cheetahs being reintroduced to India from South Africa—a project seen as a moment of pride for Kuno Park and the nation.
Project Cheetah, aimed at reviving the species in India, gains momentum with each birth, underscoring the dedication of the involved field and veterinary teams. The initiative is part of the world's first intercontinental translocation of a large carnivore, involving 20 cheetahs from Namibia and South Africa during 2022-23.
