India is currently running 'Project Cheetah' under which 20 big cats from South Africa and Namibia have been translocated to Kuno National Park as part of conservation efforts to repopulate the country's feline population.
Namibian cheetah Aasha has given birth to three adorable cubs at the Kuno National Park (KNP) in India's Madhya Pradesh state's Sheopur district.
Aasha was brought to India under 'Project Cheetah' initiative.
Minister for Environment, Forest, and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav expressed his enthusiasm on social media and congratulated all the experts involved in the project, as well as Kuno wildlife officials and wildlife enthusiasts across India.
The birth of the three cubs is a significant milestone for the conservation efforts of the cheetah population in India, bringing hope for the revival of the species in the region.
In March 2023, cheetah Siyaya, who was later renamed Jwala, gave birth to four cubs, but only one of them survived.
