The cheetah is the world’s fastest land animal. The cheetah was declared extinct in India in 1952. Cheetah is the only large carnivore to have become extinct in Independent India.
Its IUCN Status is Vulnerable. The Government of India has released the Action Plan for Introduction of Cheetah in India.
As part of the plan, India will be translocating around 12-14 cheetahs from South Africa, Namibia and Botswana to Kuno Palpur National Park in Madhya Pradesh. This could be the world’s first intercontinental cheetah translocation project.
