It is obvious for the government program reintroducing cheetahs to face criticism.
The program began in October, bringing 20 cheetahs from South Africa and Namibia to Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh.
The plan is to release a total of 50 cheetahs over the next five to 10 years.
But does the current situation support the aim of the project?
I think it was just a rushed publicity stunt and government couldn’t make the proper arrangements for Cheetahs.
It could be that Kuno National Park is an unsuitable habitat for the cheetahs due to its limited size.
The recent deaths of the cheetahs should heighten concerns.
Many critics argue that India lacks the expertise to handle the cheetahs properly and that the program may not be focused on conservation.
Despite several reported deaths, nothing could be changed and here again, news of the death of cheetah cub has arrived.
