Seven decades after cheetahs died out in India, they're back. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday released eight cats from Namibia to their new home: a national park in the heart of India.
in India has led to more conflict with people sharing the same space. With cheetahs, there are questions about how their presence would affect other carnivores like striped hyenas, or even prey like birds.The initial eight cheetahs from Namibia will be quarantined at a facility in the national park and monitored for a month to make sure they’re not carrying pests. Then they will be released into a larger enclosure in the park to help them get used to their new environment.
There is only one village with a few hundred families still residing on the fringes of the park. Indian officials said they’d be moved soon, and any livestock loss due to cheetahs will be compensated. The project is estimated to cost $11.5 million over five years, including $6.3 million that will be paid for by state-owned Indian Oil.
“It would be better to conserve them now where they are than to put effort in creating new sites where the outcome is questionable,” she said.
