The deaths of nine cheetahs, translocated from Africa, in 130 days in Kuno National Park, MP, have brought Project Cheetah under the scanner. Will better sense prevail so that they are taken to other sanctuaries?
The Madhya Pradesh High Court disposes of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed seeking direction to implement the recommendations proposed by the National Tiger Conservation Authority.
In an effort to reintroduce cheetahs to India, 50 of them will be translocated from Namibia and South Africa. This is the first such effort to relocate them and the first batch will stay in Kuno National Park, MP.
A petition has been filed in the Delhi High Court today alleging that the State authorities are willfully declaring Tiger’s identity incorrectly to suppress the offense of poaching.
The Delhi High Court has asked the Centre, the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau and the National Tiger Conservation Authority to consider the plea as a representation and take necessary action.
