Cheetah Nirva Welcomes Five Cubs at Kuno National Park

Cheetah Nirva's birth of five cubs signifies a milestone for wildlife conservation at Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh. The park now hosts 29 cheetahs, including cubs, following recent translocations. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav commends efforts under PM Modi's guidance, highlighting the rich biodiversity of India.

The ecosystem at Kuno National Park received a significant boost as cheetah Nirva gave birth to five cubs, as announced by the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav, on Sunday. This addition raises the park's cheetah population to 29.

Earlier this month, two cheetahs were relocated from Kuno to the Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary, signalling successful conservation efforts. This brings the total number of cheetahs in the country to 31. Yadav expressed pleasure over the growing population, deeming it a symbol of the Cheetah Project's success.

Launched with governmental support, the project saw eight Namibian and twelve South African cheetahs released into Kuno, marking a historic transcontinental translocation. Celebrations are ongoing for the birth of Nirva's cubs, seen as a testament to India's commitment to biodiversity.
