Chief Minister Mohan Yadav Releases Female Cheetah CCB-2 in Gandhi Sagar; Names Her ‘Radha’
The move gives Gandhi Sagar four cheetahs and expands Project Cheetah’s effort to build a second habitat in the state.
- On Sunday, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav released a Botswana-born female cheetah named Radha at Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary in Neemuch.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Project Cheetah initiative aims to develop a long-term metapopulation across the Kuno-Gandhi Sagar landscape after the species vanished from Asia.
- Yadav said, "Today, there are over 56 cheetahs, including cubs, present in the state," while praising the Forest Department for their contribution to Asia's first such initiative.
- With Radha's release, Gandhi Sagar now hosts four cheetahs—two males and two females—expanding the reintroduction programme beyond the initial Kuno National Park site.
- Authorities aim to establish a sustainable, interconnected population of 60-70 cheetahs across the region, with this release representing a significant step toward achieving the national framework's long-term target.
