In April 2025, Project Cheetah, launched in 2022, marked a historic effort by India to reintroduce the extinct-in-the-country cheetah by translocating wild cheetahs from Africa to Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park. The project aims to establish a sustainable metapopulation of 60-70 cheetahs across the broader Kuno-Gandhi Sagar landscape to ensure genetic diversity and long-term survival. Recently, the Cheetah Project Steering Committee approved the next phase involving relocating some cheetahs to another protected area to support this conservation goal. To which wildlife sanctuary have the cheetahs been approved for relocation?
