African Cheetah introduction in MHTR, How much Feasible?
Kota, Jhalawar, Bundi, Chittor: Struggling terribly to Save its Tigers, Now MHTR is focusing its eye on African Cheetahs.
Some African Cheetahs are likely to be shifted from South Africa probably during December 2021 or Jan 2022.
They will be introduced in Palpur Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary of Madhya Pradesh, the survey by the WII Dehradun team for the introduction of Cheetahs has been conducted in these places of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh namely, 1. Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve, 2. Shergarh Wildlife Sanctuary, 3. Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary, 4. Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary, 5. Madhav National Park and 5. Nauradehi Wildlife Sanctuary.
Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary of Madhyapradesh was considered as the best suitable choice for the introduction of Cheetahs keeping in mind all the safety and prey-base factors of a species introduction back in wild to India.
Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve which is almost 759 square km in area and having an 80 square kilometer Predator Proof Fencing, the MHTR lobby is now trying to get 3-4 Cheetahs of 12 which are going to be shifted in Kuno.
Tigers were introduced in MHTR in 2018 and within 2 years out of 7, Six Tigers died and disappeared, huge male Tiger also the first Tiger of MHTR MT-1 disappeared from within the enclosure and was still not been found.
Problems which MHTR has that Predator Proof Fencing and Security wall is broken from many places even one can enter with jeep from these points inside the enclosure.
20 crores Predator Proof Fencing is not at all predator-proof, there are Leopards, Hyena and Wolves inside the 80 square kilometer enclosure, which can give competition to newly introduced species, meanwhile locals cattle and livestock has access to the enclosure from broken wall and fence areas, illegal grazing is a major problem in MHTR.
In MHTR's core, there are almost 16 villages, out of which 1 Ghati Village has been completely relocated. People were caught destroying anti-poaching and surveillance camera system in MHTR, there are illegal Safaris in MHTR, till now MHTR is not fully and functionally open for Tourism, but people who operate illegal safari penetrate and illegally trespass into the forest of MHTR with the help of the corrupt lower staff.
Prey base is already a major problem in MHTR. With current conditions, experts say that it unsuitable for African Cheetahs.
Until and Unless things are changed or improved or taken up to the Task, New Species introduction looks un-feasible in MHTR.
