Cheetah Reintroduction in India

Bringing an alien species of animals from one country to another can have dire consequences which can be assessed by the impact caused to the ecosystem of the country. There is no sure way to predict how it will behave when introduced to a completely new environment. We do know that this practice is the cause of billions of dollars of damage in the form of environmental and economic harm done to several countries worldwide. We have relied on observational techniques to gather data and have relied upon data produced by various institutions such as the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Cornell University, the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity, Centre for Biodiversity Policy and Law and International Union for Conservation of Nature. Our findings provide evidence against the decision of the Central Government to introduce African Cheetahs in India.
