Kuno: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will visit Kuno National Park on May 10 and 11 to oversee the release of two female cheetahs brought from Botswana from a soft-release boma into the wild.
While the state is widely recognised as India’s “Tiger State,” it is now expanding its conservation focus to several other species, including cheetahs, vultures, elephants, gharials, wild buffaloes, crocodiles and turtles.
Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary is being developed as another cheetah habitat, while Nauradehi, now part of the Rani Durgavati landscape, has been approved as a third cheetah habitat in the state.
For decades, Madhya Pradesh has been known as India’s “Tiger State.” That identity remains intact. But over the past 18 months, the state has begun building a wider conservation architecture around tigers, cheetahs, vultures, gharials, elephants, wild buffaloes, crocodiles, turtles, and landscape corridors.
The shift matters because India’s next wildlife challenge will not be only about increasing animal numbers. It will be about managing movement, conflict, habitat pressure, tourism, local livelihoods, and climate stress at the same time.
