The cubs were born to Veera, a five-year-old female cheetah brought from Tswalu Kalahari Reserve, South Africa. This milestone marks another success for Project Cheetah, India’s ambitious initiative to restore the species to its natural habitat.
Mr. Yadav congratulated the dedicated team of officers, veterinarians, and field staff working tirelessly for the project, reaffirming India’s commitment to wildlife conservation under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
With these new arrivals, the total number of cheetahs in Kuno, including cubs, has now reached 26—a promising step toward rebuilding the species’ presence in India.
