South Africa has signed an agreement to introduce dozens of African cheetahs to India over the next decade.
It plans to send a similar number annually for the next eight to 10 years to help establish a "viable and secure cheetah population". In 2020 India's Supreme Court ruled that African cheetahs, a different subspecies, could be brought into the country at a "carefully chosen location" on an experimental basis.The selected South African cheetahs have been living in quarantine after their planned translocation last August was delayed while the final details were agreed.
