What did the President talk to the cheetah friends?
Cheetah friends told the President that Cheetah friends are present in all the villages adjacent to Kuno National Park, who are constantly making the villagers aware about the safety of cheetahs. Everyone has been made aware about the actions to be taken if cheetahs enter populated areas. Villagers are also being given information that leopards naturally do not harm anyone. When cheetahs are seen in populated areas or fields, immediately inform the forest department, so that they are not harmed in any way. This project is very important for the re-settlement of cheetahs in India.
