Cheetah reintroduction in India is a programme initiated by Government of India to re-introduce cheetahs to India after they became locally extinct in 1952. The Asiatic cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus venaticus) whose range once included most of India were driven to extinction locally due to hunting of adult cheetahs and trapping of sub-adults.
Following the local extinction, various studies were done and multiple plans have been made to re-introduce cheetahs back into the wild in India. This included initial plan to re-introduce the asiatic cheetah from Iran in the 1970s, which was shelved due to political instability in Iran and the dwindling population of the species in the existent range. Since the late 1980s, further plans were made to introduce members of related sub-species Southeast African cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus). In 2022, as a part of Project Cheetah, cheetahs flown in from Namibia and South Africa were introduced to Kuno National Park in India.
