This park is located in Madhya Pradesh.
India will be getting 8-12 cheetahs from South Africa at the end of November. They will be introduced to the Kuno-Palpur Wildlife Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh.
- The project has been more than a decade in the making. Now, as the date draws closer, a number of questions have been raised. Why are alien species like African cheetahs being introduced into Kuno? Can it really be called a re-introduction? Or is it an introduction?
- Will the African cheetahs bring disease to Kuno? Will they be infected with diseases from local animals? Will they be able to adapt to the new environment? What about the fact that Kuno also hosts tigers?
- Down To Earth also conducted a Twitter poll on September 15, 2021, to find out how many Indians knew about India and Cheetahs. As can be seen, a third of those who participated in the poll thought India had an extant cheetah population.
