In a significant milestone for India’s wildlife conservation efforts, the first Indian-born cheetah cub, a female, celebrates her first birthday on March 29, 2024. This joyous occasion marks a year since the historic birth of four cheetah cubs by the female cheetah, Jwala, on the same day in 2023.
Reflecting on the journey of the past year, IFS officer Uttam Kumar Sharma shared a poignant short video on social media platform X, encapsulating the memories and milestones of the cheetah conservation project. From the initial excitement of Jwala giving birth to the growth and development of the cubs, the video highlights the dedication and efforts put forth in this inter-continental conservation translocation endeavour.
