In a significant move for global wildlife conservation, twenty-four countries have teamed up to form the International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA), an initiative led by India to safeguard seven big cat species, announced Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav on Tuesday.

The alliance, now including 12 members such as India, Bhutan, and Rwanda, showcases India’s progressive stance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bolster tiger reserves from 46 to 58, alongside launching a vast sapling planting endeavor.

The global interest grows as Minister Kirti Vardhan Singh shares solid plans for further cheetah introductions from Namibia, underscoring India’s pivotal role in ecological diplomacy amidst climate change challenges.
