New Delhi: The whole world will soon see India's love for animals. The proposal for the Project Cheetah web series (Project Cheetah Web Series), based on the first incident of settling cheetahs from one island to another, has been approved. This web series will be made in four parts. It will tell the difficult story of settling leopards from African islands to India after their disappearance. It is learned that the filming of the web series (Project Cheetah Web Series) will probably start around the second anniversary of 'Project Cheetah'. Interestingly, September 17 is the second anniversary of Project Cheetah. On this day in 2022, leopards were brought to India for the first time from the African country Namibia. The web series will be broadcast on Discovery Network in various languages in 170 countries.
In a letter to the Chief Wildlife Warden of Madhya Pradesh on July 21, DIG of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), Vaibhav Chandra Mathur, said that the technical committee of the authority has approved the proposal of Project Cheetah web series. The letter urged Shane Films and Planting Productions to provide filming facilities in the wildlife sanctuary as per the terms and conditions. The Chief Wildlife Warden of the state approved the proposal on August 6.
Through the web series (Project Cheetah Web Series), people will be made aware of the details of this project as well as the difficulties in bringing cheetahs to India, the condition of cheetahs and their future hopes. The makers of the web series have approached Madhya Pradesh Cell Spot and MP Tiger Foundation for financial assistance of Rs 50 lakh for the activation of the project. An official said that financial help is not possible, but we will give full support for the filming of the web series.
Surprisingly, 20 leopards have been brought to India from Africa so far. Eight of these leopards were brought from Namibia in September 2022, while 12 leopards were brought from South Africa in February 2023. However, eight adult cheetahs have died since their arrival in India, three of them are females. 17 cubs have been born in India, of which 12 are alive. According to officials, India has also intensified its efforts to bring more leopards from South Africa by the end of the year. A delegation will soon visit South Africa for talks in this regard. Talks are also going on with Kenya to bring leopards. The action plan to bring leopards to India talks about bringing an estimated 12-14 leopards every year from South Africa, Namibia and other African countries in five years.
