One Cheetah died due to illness recently.Radio collars have been installed in all the cheetahs and there is monitoring through satellite. Apart from this, a dedicated monitoring team keeps monitoring the location round the clock.MoU terms are to be reviewed every five years.Following the import of the 12 Cheetahs in February, the plan is to translocate a further 12 annually for the next eight to 10 years.The MoU on the reintroduction of cheetahs to India facilitates cooperation between the parties to establish a viable and secure cheetah population in India, promotes conservation and ensures that expertise is shared and exchanged, and capacity is built, to promote cheetah conservation.Under the ambitious project of the Indian Government- Project Cheetah- the reintroduction of wild species particularly cheetahs is being undertaken as per the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) guidelines.India has a long history of wildlife conservation. One of the most successful wildlife conservation ventures 'Project Tiger' which was initiated way back in 1972, has not only contributed to the conservation of tigers but also to the entire ecosystem.In 1947-48, the last three cheetahs were hunted by the Maharaja of Korea in Chhattisgarh and the last cheetah was seen at the same time. In 1952, the Government of India declared Cheetahs extinct and the Modi government restored cheetahs after almost 75 years.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
