Eight cheetahs will land in India tomorrow, on PM Modi's birthday, to bring to fruition an idea conceptulised 12 years ago. Project Cheetah was approved by the Supreme Court in 2020 as a pilot programme to reintroduce the species to India.
Here are the eight cheetahs, three males and five females, who have been entrusted with reviving the species which was declared extinct in 1952.
The two five-and-a-half-year-old males are brothers that have been living wild on Cheetah Conservation Fund's (CFC) 58,000-hectare private reserve near Otjiwarongo, Namibia, since at least July 2021.
