Madhya Pradesh: Aasha Keeps Alive India's Cheetah Project

Deccan Chronicle  

Bhopal: As India’s cheetah introduction project, the first of its kind in the world, enters its second year next week, conservationists have found hope in ‘Aasha’, the Namibian female feline, in the success of the ambitious plan. Amid apprehensions raised by a section of conservationists over the viability of the project in the wake of death of nine cheetahs including three cubs in a span of three months in KNP, ‘Aasha’ has given a ray of hope for its success by exhibiting her ‘amazing’ skill of adaptation to the new landscape and the environment. “Aasha’s journey, thus far, in her new habitat is very exciting and adventurous, typical of a wild cheetah”, a forest officer posted in KNP told this newspaper on Monday. KNP authorities have published a ‘News Letter’, titled ‘Aasha- The wanderer’, detailing how the five-year-old cheetah has explored Kuno landscape and successfully adopted the landscape geography and hot summer in her new habitat, besides hunting Indian preys.
