Will Cheetahs Run in Kutch Again? | India’s New Wildlife Experiment

After disappearing from India decades ago, cheetahs may once again run across the grasslands of Kutch. This documentary explores Banni Grasslands, the proposed cheetah breeding center in Gujarat, the history of Asiatic cheetahs in India, grassland restoration, invasive species, wildlife conservation, and the challenges of bringing back one of the world’s fastest predators.
