Indian Officials to Embark on Study Tours to Namibia for Cheetah Revival Plan
The Cheetah Revival Plan aims to reintroduce the species that has become extinct in India long ago, mostly due to poaching during the British rule.
In an effort to revive the cheetah population in India, the country's officials will embark on a study tour to Namibia and South Africa, India's Forest Minister Bhupender Yadav told Indian media on Tuesday.
The officials will explore Namibia's successful conservation strategies to help them establish a viable cheetah population in India.
The government will also provide money and logistic support for the safety, conservation, and revival of the felines, the minister added.
The Indian government's initiative to preserve wildlife and endangered species by restoring the cheetah population is not only an important contribution to India's biodiversity, but also a great opportunity to enhance the country's ecotourism industry.
As part of the Cheetah Revival Plan, eight cheetahs from Namibia and 12 from South Africa were transported to Kuno National Park in the past one year. However, six cheetahs have died due to health issues.
The officials have prepared Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh as an alternative habitat for the cheetahs.
