A South African delegation, including wildlife experts, will arrive in February to assess the conditions at Madhya Pradesh's Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary which is slated to become the second home of cheetahs in India, officials said on Thursday.
The male cheetah, Pavan, brought from Namibia in September last year, was released in the KNP's Nayagaon area which falls under the Peepalbaodi tourist zone, he said.
The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Central government why all the cheetahs recently translocated to India were only sent to the Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh.
Cheetah Deaths in Kuno National Park are not due to radio collar as per the MoEFCC. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) clarified the actual reason that out of the 20 adult cheetahs that were translocated, 5 of them died due to natural reason.
