The establishment of a cheetah breeding facility in Gujarat's Kutch district's Banni grasslands has received approval from the Union government. Under National CAMPA, the Gujarati government submitted a proposal to the National Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management Authority. According to wildlife experts, there are records of cheetah hunting in Dahod and Saurashtra dating back to 1921. They also mentioned that cheetahs were present in Gujarat until the early 1940s, according to multiple reference journals. Before bringing in cheetahs, the Gujarati government will need to establish breeding facilities and a prey base in this region.
