On Saturday in Kuno National Park in Sheopur district, Veera, a female cheetah, was released into a soft release enclosure from quarantine. This marks the release of twelve out of fourteen adult cheetahs into the soft release enclosure. District Forest Officer of Kuno National Park, Prakash Varma, informed the Free Press of this development.
The two cheetahs remaining in the quarantine enclosures, Nirva and Jwala, will also be released shortly. The cheetahs were released with radio collars after their health check-up. The soft release enclosures cover an area of 50 to 150 hectares, making it difficult to monitor the cheetahs without the collars.
There was some concern that the cheetahs had died due to infection caused by the radio collars. However, it was discovered that the same kind of collars are used worldwide and there was no harm in using them. Following further deliberation, the cheetahs will be released into the wild in the next stage.
