The Cheetah Project in Kuno National Park (Madhya Pradesh, India) is part of a larger effort to reintroduce cheetahs to India after they were declared extinct in the country in 1952. This initiative is spearheaded by the Indian government in collaboration with international wildlife organizations, including the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia.

Cheetahs were translocated from Namibia and later from South Africa to Kuno National Park as part of this ambitious conservation effort.

The goal is to establish a sustainable cheetah population in India, contributing to global cheetah conservation and enhancing the biodiversity of Kuno National Park.

This project is expected to have a positive impact on the park's ecosystem by restoring its historical predator-prey balance.


The project has faced challenges like ensuring the animals adapt to the new environment, mitigating potential conflicts with local wildlife, and managing risks like poaching or disease.

The project is significant as it marks the return of cheetahs to India after more than seven decades and is seen as a milestone in wildlife conservation efforts in the country.
