Madhya Pradesh seeks relocation of some of cheetahs brought from Africa

Hindustan Times  

The Madhya Pradesh government has asked the National Tiger Conservation Authority to find a new habitat in the wild for some of the cheetahs brought to Kuno National Park from Africa as they would not be able to monitor the movements of all of them living free, officials aware of the matter said on Tuesday. A Madhya Pradesh forest department official said the Kuno National Park spread over 748 square km can accommodate only nine to 10 cheetahs as a cheetah’s territory is spread over 300 to 800 square km. South African cheetah expert Vincent van der Merwe said Mukandara is the best possible site for cheetahs as it was also included in the risk management plan. “Because Rajasthan is a Congress-ruled state, they were taken to Madhya Pradesh.” A Rajasthan forest department official said they are ready to have cheetahs at Mukandara provided the translocation is approved.
