Thank you!

Rishikesh is an amazing place with several hidden gems and untold stories. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you. Yes, from the beginning I have been quite hopeful and positive about Project Cheetah.

Hi, you can contact me on suriajay@gmail.com

Yes, I agree with you.

This is quite a valid observation. हम लागों ने जंगलों औइर वन्य जीवों पर काफ़ी प्रेशर डाल रखा है। जिसकी वजह से बहुत सी जगहों पर man -animal conflict देखा जा रहा है।

Thank you so much!

A very pertinent point.

It's too early to say. Like I pointed out in the episode, and it's my perspective, that you will have to give many, many years - maybe decades- to come to any definite conclusion about the success or failure of Project Cheetah. But we should always be ready for course correction if the need arises.

@TigersandBeyond I agree, but then I m not talking about success or failure, I m talking about mismanagement

No they didn't hunt big animals they kill impala deer and small animal

As per my information, Banni grassland in Gujarat is also being prepared as the third home of cheetahs in India.

@TigersandBeyond where is the second one?

@@teejayman215 The second home for cheetahs is going to be Govind Sagar Sanctuary. I have mentioned it in the story.

Thank you!

Thanks much.

Yes, absolutely. And to protect the genetic diversity of cheetahs, two places Kuno and Govind Sagar have already been marked. Work is also going on in the third place where they could be housed in future.

I hope the efforts would bear results.

That's a very good suggestion. I will definitely consider it.

You are quite right. In fact, about two decades or so ago when Indan Government first made an attempt to bring back cheetahs, they were meant to be brought from Iran. But the decision got delayed due to bureaucratic hassles and later on, it came to be known that Iran had few cheetahs to spare. Also, thanks for your observation on my voice. I have gone through your channel and you have done lots of fabulous stories! Please stay in touch.

Yes, this too is an important issue.

Exactly. It's a travesty that they're all still forced to be in Gir instead of spreading them to better suited woodlands all over india

Very valid point.

Wish they did hybridization using some Asian cheetahs from zoos

@teejayman215 At least they adopted chitas from 10 different countries

@anwardeshmukh1701 That's a good variation, but no matter how successful it ends up, there will always be people talking about how they're not the true native asiatic cheetah. If they had at least some genetic mixture, this argument can be avoided

It's important for the environment/wildlife projects to continue for long- since it often requires decades to produce tangible result. During this period, सरकारें आती रहेंगी और जाती रहेंगी। But the ongoing project should not suffer.

जिसने शुरू किया था उसे भी श्रेय दिया जाना चाहिए आप तो वर्तमान सरकार की तारीफ कर सिर्फ चाटुकारिता कर रहे हैं

😂😂😂

Acha 😂

Mast joke

Mr Harish. I will not be drawn into any political debate on this platform. This was not the aim of starting this channel. I mean to entertain & educate viewers through true stories from the wild (as the channel's tagline says).

@TigersandBeyond सिर्फ वर्तमान सरकार की तारीफ कर क्या साबित करना चाहते हैं वह भी अंग्रेजी में - - - - भारत में रह कर हिंदी नहीं लिख सकते लानत है

Jhota asa bolo jo pacha paya samja congress ka dala

That's a good idea. Will certainly consider.

Oh, this aspect too is worth probing. Thanks for bringing it to my notice.

@TigersandBeyond they should try because thar desert has a large area like Kalahari not like kuno. If this possible their population will increase rapidly

Thanks so much Dr Amit for your appreciation. India is brimming with stories on nature, environment and wildlife and it will be my endeavour to present them at regular interval. Would love to hear from you again!

You are partly right. In any country, the opposition's role is to gun for the Government and its leader. India is no exception. But we have an unusual situation here, Many so called experts, who have not done any scientific studies or are without academic qualifications, are nowadays posing as ``true experts''. For them, opposing any move by Government is way to prove their ``expertise''.

Thanks for your appreciation Gautam Ji!!

Yes, Broken Tail too had strayed from his territory- in Ranthambore. Unfortunately, he was knocked down by a train.

Thank you Abhinav. And a very apt question. In fact, the Indian Government is actively considering making the Banni grassland of Gujarat the third home for cheetahs in India (after Kuno and Govond Sagar). In fact, a forest survey has already been done of Banni region. A decision in this regard is likely to be taken sooner or later.

@TigersandBeyond thank you sir I was thinking about this from the time when they first arrived in India.

Since your observation is quite subjective, let me reply in the same tone if you will Indiana12394. What exactly do you mean by ``so many animals''. At the turn of 20th centuary, India had 40,000 -plus tigers. Now their numbers is less then 4,000. Obviously they are too less and not too many. And then you said the wild animals are entering cities and houses. The situation is quite the opposite. It's we, the humans, who have encroached upon their land and their resources.

@TigersandBeyond I am a common man and only know the facts around me. Lucknow has a tiger roaming around for the past 15 days and is not caught so far. People are living in fear, kids not going to school and farmers not going to their farms. Leopards are being spotted in cities now. Today a leopard was spotted in the crowded area of Ghaziabad. Gujrat gir lions are roaming in villages and have attacked 3 kids so far. India is already the world's most populated country. People are bound to cut jungles to live. Now where will the animals go??? Look around for the increasing human-animal conflict. I am not such a big animal lover and seeing the situation around, I do not want more predators imported.

भाई पारिस्थितिक तंत्र के बारे पढ़ा है या हवा बाजी ही करनी है😂

Thanks Gautam for this input- it's definitely food for thought.

Oh yes, you are right. Slip of the tongue. I suppose the right word is punarsthapit

Thank you Trishan for stopping by. Jim Corbett is everybody's favourite (mine too!). There are so many good authors on wildlife, and they are all worth exploring. You can start with the books of Kenneth Anderson, M Krishnan (he is one of the best, although it's a bit difficult to get his books) and Salim Ali, the Birdman of India (his autobiography The Fall Of the Sparrow is a superb read).

True. Even more may die, but that's the cycle of life and death and no living being on earth is immune to it. In fact I have focussed this very aspect in the episode!

bhai india m cheetah extinct hogye h...and wapas se unhe as a part of forest bnane k liyeh itna aasan nahi h...8-10 yrs lgenge iss project ko safal banane m

Please view the story. 8-10 saal nahin, 30-40 saal lagenge. It will take several decades to ascertain whether the experiment to bring back cheetahs in India has failed or succeed.

सिर्फ नेगेटिव पहलू पर क्यू ध्यान दे रहे हो आप पॉजिटिव पहलू ज्यादा है चिता की संख्या बढ़ी है वाइल्ड लाइफ की नॉलेज रखेंगे तो ऐसी बाते नहीं करेंगे हा राजनीति करेंगे तो आपकी बात सही है अरुण शर्मा जी

Oh, that's okay Ryan Yadav ji. Commenting in any way, as long as it does not breach the boundary of decency and rationality, is all right. I believe in a healthy discourse in which opposite or contradictory views are also welcome.

Thanks much

Thank you Vinod!

Thank you for your appreciation. As for your inquisitive questions, cheetahs had been here in India for several centuries. Their absence of 60-70 years is a minor blip if you see their overall stay in the sub-continent. I think their launch will enhance the bio-diversity of the area. Of course, we will conclusively know about these things with the some meaningful passage of time.

Cheetahs India me grassland ko fir se revive karega, kyuki India me aur koi esi species nhi hai

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you !

Thanks much Gaurav. And a happy New Year to you too!

Thank you for your lovely observations and very apt suggestions. Yes, all these measures can be taken and these will further lift up the charm and significance of FRI.
