The ‘Action Plan for Introduction of Cheetah in India’ was released by the environment ministry in the 19th meeting of the National Tiger Conservation Authority.
Under the action plan, 50 cheetahs will be introduced in India, in the next five years.
Around 12 to 14 cheetahs will be imported from South Africa or Namibia.
Each of the cheetahs will be fitted with a satellite-GPS-very high-frequency radio collar.
