Cheetahs are to be reintroduced into India.
Cheetahs have now been extinct in India for about 70 years. Cheetahs that were from India were distinct from the African Cheetah - they were and are still known as the Asiatic Cheetah. The Asiatic Cheetah has been mainly wiped out, however, a small population still does exist - Asiatic Cheetah's are critically endangered today, they once were found throughout Asia, including throughout India, however today they only exist in Iran and have a very tiny population: there is now only 50 Asiatic Cheetah's left in the wild today.
The last Cheetah in India died in 1947.
Now, around 70 years later, Cheetahs will be reintroduced into India thanks to the Supreme Court in India ruling that they can now be reintroduced.
It will be Cheetah's from Africa which are introduced into India, rather than Cheetah's from Iran, most likely because the Cheetah population in Iran is far too low to support a reintroduction of the Asiatic Cheetah elsewhere. Therefore, it won't be the Asiatic Cheetah which is reintroduced into India, it will be the African Cheetah which is introduced into India to help India have Cheetah's once again.
