  • India and Namibia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to reintroduce African cheetahs in India.
  • The MoU was signed by Union Minister for Environment, Forests and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav and the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Namibia Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, in New Delhi.
  • The MoU will pave the way for translocation of a few cheetahs from Namibia to India.
  • The cheetahs went extinct in India by 1952.
  • They will be first kept in a special five square kilometre enclosure set up within the Kuno National Park itself for regular health check-ups and monitoring for six months before being released into the wild.
  • The animal will return to a wild enclosure in India 69 years after the last recorded cheetah was hunted down in Chhattisgarh in 1952.
