India's cheetah population has risen to 53 after the cheetah Jwala gave birth to five cubs at Kuno National Park, taking the number of India-born cubs to 33. Separately, two India-born cheetahs, KP2 and KP3, were tracked in the Mangrol range of Baran and the Banjh Amli Conservation Reserve in Rajasthan, 60-70 km from Kuno. Project Cheetah permits such inter-State movement within the Kuno-Gandhi Sagar landscape and backs a planned 17,000 sq. km corridor covering 7 districts of Rajasthan and 8 of Madhya Pradesh. Cheetahs became extinct in India in 1952.
