At the 77th Standing Committee meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), India took the spotlight by highlighting its significant achievements in big cat conservation. The country showcased its success stories in preserving iconic species like tigers and lions, while also sharing groundbreaking news of the historic first-ever wild-to-wild, intercontinental translocation and introduction of the cheetah.

India’s commitment to wildlife conservation was on full display as it shared its achievements and contributions to the global efforts to protect endangered big cat species. The country’s representatives emphasized the importance of collaborative initiatives in ensuring the survival and thriving of these majestic creatures.

One of the most noteworthy announcements made during the meeting was India’s appeal to range countries and other stakeholders to join the recently launched International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA). The alliance, inaugurated by the Honorable Prime Minister on April 9, 2023, aims to bring together nations and organizations dedicated to the conservation of seven major big cat species.

The seven big cats targeted by the IBCA include tigers, lions, cheetahs, leopards, jaguars, snow leopards, and clouded leopards. The alliance seeks to facilitate joint efforts, knowledge-sharing, and resource mobilization to address the common challenges faced by these species across different regions.

India’s call for global collaboration underscores the recognition that the conservation of big cats is a shared responsibility that transcends national borders. By encouraging range countries and stakeholders to join forces, India aims to create a united front against the various threats faced by these magnificent animals, including habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.

The historic translocation and introduction of cheetahs in an intercontinental effort mark a significant milestone in India’s conservation efforts. This bold initiative showcases the nation’s commitment to restoring ecosystems and preserving biodiversity on a global scale.

As the Standing Committee meeting progresses, the spotlight remains on India’s conservation achievements and the potential impact of the International Big Cat Alliance in shaping the future of big cat conservation worldwide. With collaborative efforts, nations can work together to secure a safer and healthier future for these iconic and endangered species.
