On the third anniversary of South African cheetahs’ arrival in India, a female cheetah named ‘Gamini’ has given birth to three healthy cubs at Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park. This event raises the total population of these remarkable big cats in India to 38.
The successful breeding showcases the efforts of conservation programs in translocating and protecting cheetahs outside their native habitat. Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav announced this exciting development on February 18, 2026.
The arrival of South African cheetahs to Kuno National Park marked a significant milestone in wildlife conservation, aiming to restore the species in India where they were declared extinct decades ago. This recent birth of cubs reflects positive progress in this flagship program and underlines the commitment to animal welfare and biodiversity preservation.
Kuno National Park continues to be a critical sanctuary for these large carnivores, ensuring a safe environment for their growth and survival. Wildlife experts and conservationists are hopeful that continued support will further enhance the population and boost ecological balance in the region.
