Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav announced that Madhya Pradesh is undertaking extensive efforts to develop its ecosystem. Wildlife tourism boosts the economy and serves as a gateway to prosperity. The state government is committed to developing Kuno National Park as a model wildlife tourism destination. Alongside Kuno, Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary in Mandsaur district will soon host cheetahs. With Central Government support, two cheetahs from Kuno will be relocated under high security to Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary on April 20.
CM Yadav revealed plans to enhance tourism at Kuno National Park by improving direct road and air connectivity from Gwalior. He was addressing a review meeting at Samatva Bhavan (the Chief Minister’s residence) on the Cheetah Project’s implementation in Madhya Pradesh, attended by Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Bhupender Yadav.
CM Yadav was pleased to note that cheetah cubs born in Madhya Pradesh have the world’s highest survival rate. In contrast, cubs in other countries often struggle to adapt to local climates. Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary offers an ideal environment for cheetahs, prompting the state to introduce them there to enrich the sanctuary.
