India to re-introduce extinct Cheetah
New Delhi: The Environment Ministry has released latest finding of the International Union Conservation for Nature according to which two more species are now on the critically endangered list.

This takes the list of endangered species that are in danger of being lost forever to 57.

These findings are surely going to hurt animal lovers and activists. But, there is a reason to cheer as well. The government has said that India is close to re-introducing the cheetah in two years' time.

While the Cheetah had become extinct in India, the Madhya Pradesh government has written to the Environment Ministry promising a habitat for the cat which may be imported from Africa.
