Which national park in Madhya Pradesh received nine cheetahs from Botswana in 2026 ?
Kuno National Park
Project Cheetah, launched in September 2022, aims to re-establish the cheetah in India, where it was declared extinct in 1952. The first batches came from Namibia (2022) and South Africa (2023) to Kuno National Park in Sheopur district.
On 28 February 2026 a third batch of nine cheetahs (six females and three males) was flown from Botswana to Gwalior and then taken by helicopter to Kuno National Park, where they were released into quarantine enclosures; this took India's cheetah count to 48.
Kanha is a tiger reserve famous for the barasingha, Satpura is a tiger reserve in Narmadapuram district and Panna is a tiger reserve known for its tiger recovery; none received the Botswana cheetahs. Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary is the second cheetah site, but it is not listed. Since one listed park fits, “None of the above” is ruled out.
Kuno National Park option is correct.
