Kuno overpopulated? Govt says no worry, experts differ

As 12 South African cheetahs reached Kuno-Palpur National Park (KNP), the total tally of cheetahs reached 20 in India. Bhupendra Yadav, Union of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, said the KNP landscape could sustain cheetah population up to 40, and the government is striving to achieve this population viability. The minister counted the buffer area, which is spread over 6500 sqkm dotted with 53 villages, that can open the potential gate for human-wildlife conflict.
