Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a joint session of Namibia’s Parliament in Windhoek on 9 July, thanked the Namibian government for its role in reintroducing cheetahs to India. Modi recalled personally releasing the first batch of big cats into Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park in 2022 and told lawmakers the animals had “sent a message” that they are thriving. Earlier in the day, India’s Secretary for Economic Relations Dammu Ravi said talks are under way for a second phase of the translocation programme, describing the initial effort as a successful example of bilateral cooperation in conservation. Details on the timing and number of additional cheetahs were not disclosed, but both governments signalled their commitment to deepening the wildlife partnership.
