Search on for second home for cheetahs at MP’s Kuno park

Hindustan Times  

The Madhya Pradesh government has asked the National Tiger Conservation Authority to find a second home for the cheetahs because Kuno may not be able to accommodate more than 10 of the big cats, state forest department officials said. Explaining the issue, a senior MP forest department official who asked not to be named said, “The park which is spread in 748 sq kms can house only nine to 10 cheetahs.” The official said of the four cheetahs released in the wild two, Oban and Asha, have been exploring large parts of the buffer area and that recently Oban was brought back to the park from a nearby village where he strayed. The Madhya Pradesh forest department has selected Gandhisagar Wildlife Sanctuary in Mandsaur district as a second home for cheetahs but making it ready for them will take another year, officials said. Supporting the demand of MP forest department, Wildlife Institute’s senior scientist, Qamar Qureshi, who is in charge of the cheetah project, said releasing all 20 cheetahs in Kuno was never part of the plan.
