Modi releases two of eight cheetahs into Kuno National Park

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today released two of eight cheetahs into Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park. The cheetahs were released from enclosure number one following which about 70 meters away, another cheetah was released from the second enclosure.

Sporting a fedora hat, the PM was also seen photographing the felines with a professional camera.

This historic mission called Project Cheetah marks the first time a wild southern African cheetah will be introduced in any another continent.

Project Cheetah was approved by the Supreme Court in 2020 as a pilot programme to reintroduce the species to India.
