The Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary is now being developed for the cheetahs brought from the African country Namibia and kept in the Sheopur Kuno National Sanctuary (KNP) of Madhya Pradesh.
According to wildlife experts, after the increase in the number of cheetahs in Kuno National Park, there will not be enough area for them, so it is necessary to relocate them to another place.
Gandisagar Wildlife Sanctuary has vast open spaces and grasslands surrounded by shrubs, which is an ideal landscape for cheetah.
Gandhisagar Wildlife Sanctuary is located in northwestern Madhya Pradesh (Mandsaur and Neemuch districts) near the Rajasthan border.
It was notified as a wildlife sanctuary in the year 1974.
Gandisagar Wildlife Sanctuary has many places of historical, archaeological and religious importance like - Chaurasigarh, Chaturbhujnath Temple, Bhakaji Rock Painting, Narsinghjhar Hinglajgarh Fort, Karkeshwar Temple.
