After more than two years in captivity at Kuno National Park in Sheopur, India, the cheetahs brought from Namibia and South Africa are set to be released into the wild. Following approval from the Cheetah Steering Committee, arrangements are underway for the cheetahs’ freedom, with a tentative release planned for the last week of October.

Release Schedule and Preparations

R. Muruthal, the District Forest Officer (DFO) of Sheopur, confirmed that while a specific release date has yet to be announced, preparations are in progress. “All decisions regarding the cheetahs are made by the Cheetah Steering Committee. The first phase of releasing the cheetahs under the Cheetah Project can start at the end of this month,” he stated. Meetings have also been held between the three states involved to enhance the necessary infrastructure for the cheetahs.

Boost for Tourism During Diwali

The anticipated release is expected to significantly benefit tourism, as many visitors have been eagerly waiting to see the cheetahs. If the cheetahs are freed before Diwali, tourists visiting Kuno for safaris will have the opportunity to witness these majestic animals in their natural habitat.

Phased Release Plan

The release of the cheetahs will occur in phases, beginning with male cheetahs Agni and Vayu. After their release, the cheetahs will be closely monitored to assess their adaptation to the forest environment. If successful, additional adult cheetahs will be released in subsequent phases.

Current Population and Future Plans

Since their introduction in September 2022, there are currently 24 cheetahs in India. Although some cubs have sadly died, the project remains committed to enhancing the cheetah population in the country, with plans to bring more cheetahs from abroad in the future.

As the cheetahs prepare to reclaim their place in the wild, conservationists and wildlife enthusiasts alike eagerly await this significant moment in India’s wildlife history.
