Project Cheetah, India's ambitious attempt to introduce African cheetahs in the wild in the country, has been completed a year after its launch in September 2022.
The project has claimed to have achieved short-term success on four counts: “50% survival of introduced cheetahs from South Africa and Namibia, the establishment of home ranges, the birth of cubs in Kuno”, and revenue generation for local communities.
According to the Cheetah reintroduction project, Cheetahs, meant for a total of 142 months in the wild, spent less than 27 months combined.
The project faced a setback with a 40% loss in the functional adult population, resulting in the death of six out of 20 cheetahs, including Dhatri, Sasha, Suraj, Uday, Daksha, and Tejas.Additionally, four cubs were born in India, of which three died, and the fourth is being raised in captivity.
Only three cheetahs, namely Namibian imports Asha, Gaurav, and Shaurya, spent more than three months continuously in the wild. However, they have been confined to bomas(enclosures) since July 2023.
There are doubts about the successful establishment of "home ranges" in Kuno.

The Supreme Court (SC) has taken a significant step in protecting the endangered Great Indian Bustard bird population by forming an expert committee to find ways to balance conservation and protection efforts.
The Great Indian Bustard, also known as Ardeotis nigriceps and the State bird of Rajasthan, is currently facing a critical situation in India. It has been classified as the most endangered species due to various factors such as habitat loss and poaching.
The majority of its population is found in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat, with smaller populations also present in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh.
In the year 2017, the Odisha government took a groundbreaking step by launching its 'drink from tap' mission. This initiative has made it the first and only state in India to guarantee high-quality drinking water on household tap connections for its citizens.
The mission is currently providing coverage to 2.55 million individuals in eight cities, with the goal of reaching a total of 4.1 million people across urban Odisha by the end of 2024.
Real-time surveillance plays a crucial role in enforcing the Indian Standard (IS) for drinking water. By constantly monitoring and maintaining permissible limits for soluble and insoluble components, it ensures that our drinking water is safe to consume.
