When was the Cheetah Reintroduction Project launched in India?

The Cheetah Reintroduction Project was launched in India in 2022 to bring back cheetahs after they had disappeared from the country. The project focuses on restoring the cheetah population and improving wildlife conservation efforts.

Cheetahs were declared extinct in India in 1952 because of reasons such as habitat loss and excessive hunting. Through this project, cheetahs were introduced into suitable protected habitats to help rebuild their population.

The initiative represents the importance of conserving species and protecting natural ecosystems. It also helps students understand how conservation programmes can support biodiversity by restoring lost species and maintaining balance among different living organisms.
