    Solution

    Wild Cheetahs, which had become extinct in India, were released in Kuno National Park, in Madhya Pradesh under the world’s first inter-continental large wild carnivore translocation project.  It is a part of the Indian government’s ambitious programme to reintroduce these animals in the country seven decades after they became extinct.  The Kuno National Park, the new home of the cheetahs, is situated on the northern side of Vindhyachal Mountains.  After Namibia, Cheetahs from South Africa will also be brought to the Kuno National Park in phased manner.
