zen Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Need to devote like 1/3rd of the land area to wildlife without much human interference! Otherwise many species can become extinct (the planet belongs to all kinds of living beings not just human beings who have hijacked it). ravishingravi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a huge risk given circumstances. Let's see how this goes. Maintaining balance will be a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheetah was extinct in India not because of population, but iby 1947. Mainly due to gaming and hunting by Whites and Maharajas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheetah require large grassland type area which are not much in India. Also Tiger and leopards were much prized kill than small cheetah for Royal hunters but both of them survived. velu and coffee_rules 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Corbett National park was Hailey national park before independence later it was renamed Ramganga national and again after insistance of GB Pant as Corbett National park.

Agreed, my argument was reductive. Large cheetah population was reduced to some such scientific explanation. Whatever was left in India were hunted down for trophy keeping Edited September 18, 2022 by coffee_rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunting is banned now and a criminal offence. So one of the main reason for their loss is no longer there. India also has a very successful tiger ( and other big cats)protection record.....inspite of the huge human population and it's side effects. Pretty sure the Cheetah reintroduction will be a success.
