Jwala, a Namibian cheetah and successful three-time mother, gave birth to five cubs on Monday at Kuno National Park.
With this birth, the number of Indian-born thriving cubs has risen to 33, marking the 10th successful cheetah litter on Indian soil—another important milestone in India’s cheetah conservation journey.
This milestone reflects the tireless efforts of veterinarians, field staff, and everyone involved. With these cubs, India’s cheetah population has risen to 53—a historic moment for wildlife conservation.
Minister of Environment Bhupender Yadav said it as “a moment of great pride for Project Cheetah”.
Yadav further said that the achievement reflects the dedicated efforts, skill, and commitment of the veterinarians, field staff and all involved who continue to work tirelessly on the ground.
He termed it as a historic and heart-warming moment for wildlife conservation. He wished “May Jwala and her cubs grow strong and race ahead, carrying India’s cheetah story to even greater heights.”
