He wrote, ‘A historic event in the field of forest conservation in the Amrit period. I am happy to inform that one of the female cheetahs brought to India on 17 September 2022 under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given birth to four cubs.
Two days ago, one of the cheetahs brought from Namibia, Sasha, a female cheetah, died of a kidney infection.
Last year on September 17, on the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, eight cheetahs brought from Namibia were released in the Kuno sanctuary. Recently 12 more cheetahs were brought to Kuno from South Africa. With the arrival of these cubs, the total number of cheetahs in Kuno has increased to 23.
