ThePrintPod: Kuno cheetahs tranquilised 110 times in the first two years: Exclusive details of internal documents

from ThePrint · host ThePrint

India’s ambitious Project Cheetah was projected as a historic wildlife comeback story. But an exclusive document accessed by ThePrint reveals a troubling side to the conservation effort. Between 2022 and 2024, cheetahs in Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park were reportedly tranquilised 110 times for management, medical interventions, and to prevent them from straying outside park boundaries. Wildlife experts warn that repeated chemical immobilisation can have long-term physiological and behavioural consequences for the big cats.----more----Link to the story:https://theprint.in/feature/kuno-cheetahs-tranquilised-project-inspection-report/2942453/
