After going extinct in India over 70 years ago, cheetahs are finally making a comeback in the country with a new reintroduction program

Eight cheetahs from Namibia arrived in India on Saturday, according to a tweet from the Cheetah Conservation Fund . The big cats were released into India’s Kuno National Park in the state of Madya Pradesh. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was there to welcome the cheetahs to their new home. “A long wait is over,” Modi wrote on Twitter alongside pictures of the cats in their new environment.

Each cheetah was vaccinated, fitted with a satellite collar and kept in isolation at the fund’s location in Otjiwarongo, Namibia, according to the release. The animals chosen for the 11-hour trek were selected “based on an assessment of health, wild disposition, hunting skills, and ability to contribute genetics that will result in a strong founder population,” says the organization. It took a multi-step journey to get the cats from Namibia, on Africa’s southwestern coast, to central India.
