India and South Africa have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to bring in dozens of African cheetahs to India over the next 10 years.
Cheetahs were widespread in India as well as in many parts of the world until 1947. The last cheetah died in India in the Koriya district of present-day Chhattisgarh the same year and the big cat species was declared extinct in 1952.
As part of the MoU, an initial batch of 12 cheetahs will be flown from South Africa to India next month. The cats will join 8 cheetahs brought in India from Namibia last year.
