On Friday, the experts released female South African cheetah Veera into the wild of Kuno National Park in Sheopur district. This brings the total count of cheetahs in the wild to nine, with the other eight still inside enclosures. Principal Chief Conservator of Forest J S Chouhan confirmed that Veera was released in the morning, where she will join the likes of Asha and Freddie. This decision was made with the consent of the Cheetah Task Force and Cheetah Steering Committee.
20 adult cheetahs were relocated to Kuno National Park in two phases, eight from Namibia and 12 from South Africa. Unfortunately, three of them have passed away due to various causes. Meanwhile, the efforts to reunite the lone surviving cub with its mother, female cheetah Jwala, have been unsuccessful, as she is not ready to accept the cub. A senior officer of the forest department has reported that they have been trying every day to get the two together, but to no avail. This may be due to the fact that Jwala has been away from the cub for a long time, causing her to develop a dislike for it.
This is yet another successful achievement for the wildlife conservationists, and proves that with the right resources and dedication, we can help protect endangered species and make sure they continue to thrive in the wild.
