What I liked about u sir, in this video.. You didn't tried to hide or minimise the mistakes of the engaged people in this mission. The world needs people like you.
What is the use of bringing the extinct species here in India again without preserving the grasslands? All the remaining grasslands are turning into agricultural lands or industrial parks. First we need to protect Grasslands. Then should focus on Critically endangered india species like Great indian bustards.
As an veterinary student I gotta say It will succed for sure though, it will take some or like there 2 generations but they will back in Bharat❤Hare कृष्ण Hare राम❤❤❤❤
Very honest Interview- accepting mistakes- is the basic window for learning!! we saw your efforts & knowledge & desperation to make the project a success. Thanks !
Im an animal lover and was looking forward to this project from 10-12 yrs back..i hoped that india wil get cheetahs and thy will thrive in our country..i still hope they will thrive here and india will have 1000cheetah in the country in next 30-50years and hope god bless us for success ..👍🏻❤️
Dr Jhala, first of all thanks for explaining the Cheeta Subject in a very intense way .Your vision and the courageous stap of the Government is always appreciated.All good wishes for the success of the project...🙏
Extremely well said, Mr Jhala!! You are an institution in your subject, no less!! We are always in agreement with you!! Now my points!! 1. Such a big exercise was done with years of planning? So where did the planning fail?? Points to that - 1A) Stress for animals, is different from humans, you will also agree on this, right?? Did you miss it?? 1B) the question of the fur coat on an African Cheetah, in the southern Hemisphere, should not have been a thing that scientists could miss out!! How could you, miss it out?? You are an expert in the subject, how could you miss the coat issue, and this is not related to Modiji, you should have equated your experience in a local train with unreserved seating, with what the wild Cheetahs would have faced, you are not going there, thay are coming here, so here in lies the blame!! We really, as collective Indians, don't think forward, always!! I am sorry to say that this is not the way to progress on reintroduction of a foreign species, the fur coat was one of the basics!! How could you survive a jungle in India, with safari suits?? Could you?? When that's not the case, blaming diseases etc won't help, Sir!! Please really think, because each of these animals are equivalent to 10 humans, for they cost tax payer money!! If you could not think that their coat issue will make their Collaring problematic, you need to go back to the drawing boards, so please, instead of being apologetic, please put your best foot forward!!
Namaste Sir, Thank you very much for this scientific information about cheetah operation, it was very important to know about this project as an Indian. nicely explained. All the best for the team project Cheetah.
Every cheetah need 300km sq at least Kuno national park just have 750 km sq Govt need take action on this situation Because they will keep dying because of less space and radio collor issue should be solved Take action on these Because they will no longer with us
Well done good work of your government and all of you 👏 . I am a professional leopard photographer in Srilanka with over 460 sightings of this big cat wishes all the best in your efforts of re introducing to lndia .👍 Thanks. Shantha.
This was my dream, prior to the start of the program it was stated in the wild 30% do not survive, we must cater for each and a unique print missing from our big cat family-lion, tiger, leopards, snow and clouded leopards.
No many of them died...From the first lot..Not even half survived....It is a failed project...All of them are dying..It's a different environment and condition.
I think Rajasthan would be a very suitable area for Cheetahs because Rajasthan has many large open Areas and Cheetahs have experience to live and hunt in open forest like Africa.
Thank you for the update. I have a special love for these delicate animals.. often completely misunderstood by most people as vicious predators, which they are not. I still remember when I was in class 9 and sited Cheetahs as extinct animal in India in my tuition and everybody started laughing...because people didn't even know the difference between Leopard and Cheetah, the misunderstanding further enhanced by the fact that my native language(bengali), the leopards are called CheetaBagh. Of course, the very next day I brought in some big book to the class in an effort to prove what I said the other day, and this time even though nobody laughed, nobody took it seriously enough either. That's the day I realized most people are sheeple.
I am amazed how much indeth research and genetic understanding was analysed before the program....I also deeply appreciate the transparent explanation of the current status. Though, I do question the level of failure on not evaluating the geographical topography, hemisphere environment as well as the poor quality monitoring of animal behaviour in distress.. is not excusable just because honesty is at the forefront
Thank you for such a well presented background to the first year since reintroduction. It was heartening to hear the honesty about the problems as well as the positives and learnings. Best of luck to all involved in this challenging initiative.
only reason for importing cheetahs is that modi was not willing to give lions to MP. Gujarat is a lion state. Kuno is very suitable for lions as it is very similar to Gir in terms of terrain and habitat. Also a new gene pool for lions would have been created. If anything happens to gir lions population then species can be saved.
While some of the collusions were difficult to hear / experience, that is science. Before bringing more cheetahs to suffer, assure there is funding and trained people to support the ups / downs that can accompany such a large scale project. Optimistic that this is possible with the right learnings and management of those learnings - GOOD cause, keep up the focus.
Jaisalmer -Barmer area is suitable for Namibian cheetahs as its open land where they can run and hunt impala Deer and black bucks also Taal chapar ,So does Nauradehi- and few others .Mukundra can be a good meta population center.
I think v sud send 50experts in next few years to study cheetahs in africa for long term atleast 3-5yrs and then get them back to india and use their expertise to better conserve our cheetahs
00:06:53 *Correction* . *It has been confirmed that the Yala National Park, Sri Lanka has the highest density of leopards to be found anywhere in the world and is as much as one leopard per square kilometer*
@@speedstar6140 I am talking about cheetah. Humidity is connected with rainy area. Just like where is rains properly there is high humidity than other.
@@Bhairav191 I am laso taking about Cheetah, and for your information the Chambal region of Sheopur, Mourenna and Bhind receive lowest rainfall in M.P. and the climatic conditions of this region is semi-Arid which are very similar to that of Africa. Due to low rainfall and semi-arid climatic conditions, this region experience lower humidity.
Rajasthan has open areas in Jaisalmer Barmer and other areas where there is chinkara population along with black bucks and there is one more place in Gujrat where there are a lot of Blackbuck I am forgetting the name
Some of these cheetahs should be introduced in Sri Lanka as well once a base population has been built up in India. This will create genetic 🧬 diversity and then cheetah 🐆 breeding pairs can be swapped ♻️ back and forth.
Nice explanation so basically sir you wanna say that poor animals were not able to survive due to administrative lapse. So can plz tell us what action are take against those people who were not able to complete their duty.
Sir, I have concerned about them and other animals species aslo. Our population density is huge, for that we are doing deforestation which is directly threating animals habitats. Indian governments should and people to see in this matter.
But Sir dont you think Asiatic lions also needs to spread throughout india not just in Gujrat like the tigers so if any diseases or virus or any natural calamity hits gujrat there is fear entire population of asiatic lion may be wiped off?
I think instead of putting blame on the team u should take the blame yourself. It is you who chose the team and moreover that is the quality of a good leader.
It is indeed a challenge, however separation season and weather matching is a common sense . I don’t think it’s excusable oversight. However hope the team gets funding for continuation of the project
