During his address, PM Modi noted the initiatives undertaken by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, such as the establishment of the International Big Cat Alliance, which serves as a platform for sharing best practices related to wildlife conservation with other countries. He highlighted the government’s endeavors to protect various species, including the Great Indian Bustard, Gharial, and Sloth Bear, as well as the successful translocation of cheetahs to India.

Modi pointed out that India is home to over 70 percent of the global tiger population, as well as the largest population of one-horned rhinoceroses. He also remarked on the uniqueness of the Asiatic lion, which is exclusively found in India. His commitment to wildlife was evident as he emphasized India’s role in safeguarding extraordinary fauna and ecosystems.

World Wildlife Day, designated by the United Nations, aims to celebrate and raise awareness about the world’s wildlife, fostering appreciation for biodiversity and encouraging conservation efforts globally.

The International Big Cat Alliance was launched in 2024, with the goal of ensuring the future of big cats and the ecosystems that support them. This initiative is characterized as a collaboration involving 96 countries that are home to big cats, along with various conservation organizations, scientific communities, and business stakeholders united for wildlife preservation.

In a significant development for India’s cheetah reintroduction initiative, nine cheetahs from Botswana were released into Kuno National Park, located in Madhya Pradesh’s Sheopur district, on February 28. This event represents a pivotal moment for a project aimed at re-establishing the cheetah population in India and enhancing ecological balance in the region.
