After being declared extinct 70 years ago, 8 cheetahs arrived in India from Namibia on Saturday. This was the first time in the world that a large carnivore was relocated from one continent to another. In this episode, Indian Express’ Esha Roy and Iram Siddique join host Shashank Bhargava to talk about the main objectives behind this projects, the concerns that experts have raised, and the measures that forest officials are taking now to ensure the safety of the big cats (which includes roping in a former dacoit, who has over 91-cases of murder and kidnapping to his name).
