SC Allows Introduction of African Cheetahs to India
The Supreme Court on January 28, allowed the Centre to introduce the African cheetah to a suitable habitat in India. With India’s own cheetahs vanishing, a plea for this had been filed by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), seeking permission to introduce the African cheetah from Namibia.
In May 2012, the top court had stalled the plan to initiate the foreign cheetahs into the PalpurKuno sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh fearing they may come into conflict with a parallel and a much-delayed project to reintroduce lions into the same sanctuary.
