Apart from this, the National Park of Namibia from which these cheetahs are being brought is famous for the house of cheetahs. There is a good number of cheetahs in this park. Like human settlements, there are also complete arrangements for the care of cheetahs. Very special preparations have also been made to bring cheetahs from Namibia to India. The face of the special aircraft, which is being brought to India, has been painted in the form of a cheetah. Apart from this, the interior of the aircraft has been modified in a special way. Apart from cheetahs, crew members, doctors and cheetah experts will be on board the aircraft.
Explain why 8 cheetahs from Namibia are being settled in India. Please tell that these cheetahs are being brought to India by the special Cheetah Project. The government had declared cheetahs extinct in the country in 1952. The last cheetah was seen in the year 1948 in the forest of Koriya district of Chhattisgarh. The Indian High Commissioner in Namibia is keeping a close watch on the plan to bring 8 cheetahs to India. He himself is watching the entire mission by going to the National Park of Namibia.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for these guests in Namibia and on Saturday these cheetahs will be on Indian soil. After about 7 decades, cheetahs will be seen running on the soil of India. In 2010, the Government of India started talks with Namibia to settle the cheetah. But the agreement to bring cheetahs from Namibia and South Africa was signed in July 2022 and under this agreement 8 cheetahs are reaching India in the first episode. Let us tell you that this is happening for the first time when a carnivorous animal is being sent from one continent to another. About Rs 75 crore will be spent in the care of these cheetahs for 5 years.
