A New Home for Cheetahs in Central India
Nauradehi Wildlife Sanctuary, spread over 1,197 sq. km, will soon join Kuno and Gandhi Sagar as a cheetah reintroduction site under Project Cheetah.
Located in the heart of Madhya Pradesh, its open grasslands and mixed forests make it a perfect habitat for the world’s fastest land animal.
A Vital Corridor for Wildlife
Nauradehi lies between Panna and Satpura Tiger Reserves, forming a crucial wildlife corridor that supports the movement of tigers, leopards, wolves, and sloth bears.
With 250+ species, including 150+ bird varieties, it stands among central India’s most vibrant ecosystems.
Why Nauradehi Suits Cheetahs
The sanctuary’s expansive grasslands, healthy prey base, and low human interference make it ideal for cheetahs.
Ongoing conservation efforts focus on habitat restoration, prey management, and eco-tourism, ensuring the new cheetah population thrives in balance with the ecosystem.
