Boost to Wildlife Tourism

The release of Gamini and her cubs has not only contributed to the cheetah population in Kuno but also enhanced the tourism experience in the region. The Khajuri forest area, which lies within the Ahera tourism zone, will now provide visitors with a unique opportunity to see cheetahs in their natural environment. The presence of these remarkable animals in the park will make safaris more thrilling and is expected to give a major boost to wildlife tourism in the area. Visitors will now be able to enjoy a closer encounter with these beautiful creatures against the backdrop of Kuno’s scenic landscapes.

Growing Cheetah Population

Following the release, a total of 17 cheetahs, including Gamini and her cubs, are now roaming freely in the open forests of Kuno National Park. Officials have confirmed that all the cheetahs are healthy and adapting well to their new environment. With the addition of these new cheetahs, the total number of cheetahs in the park has risen to 26, including 14 cubs.

The successful release of Gamini and her cubs strengthens the ongoing cheetah conservation efforts and highlights the growing population of this endangered species in Kuno. The project is contributing significantly to biodiversity preservation and is also creating new opportunities for tourism and employment in the region.

A Positive Sign for Cheetah Conservation

Gamini gave birth to six cubs on March 10, 2024, though two tragically did not survive. The four remaining cubs are healthy and are now living freely in the forest, experiencing life in the wild. This development is an encouraging sign for the cheetah population in Kuno, as the birth of these cubs consolidates the species’ presence in the park, bringing hope for the long-term success of the cheetah reintroduction project in India.
