In 1952, cheetahs were declared extinct in India. In 2022, eight Cheetahs – brought from Namibia – were introduced in India under Project Cheetah. Later 12 cheetahs from South Africa were also released in Kuno National Park in February 2023.

So far, seven adult cheetahs and three cubs born in India have died since March 2023.
