NTCA Constitutes New Committee to Oversee Cheetah Project

May 27, 2023

National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has established an 11-member Cheetah Project Steering Committee under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
Rajesh Gopal, secretary general of Global Tiger Forum, has been appointed as its chairman.
The decision was taken after six cheetahs, which were brought as part of the translocation project, died in the last two months.
The panel will be in force for two years and hold at least one meeting every month.
It will provide suggestions on community interface and their involvement in project activities.
It will also provide suggestions on opening the cheetah habitat for eco-tourism and regulations in this regard.
