Cheetahs being brought from South Africa are to be introduced in which national park?

A: Kuno National Park
B: Jim Corbett National Park
C: Ranthambore National Park
D: Gir National Park

The answer is: A

Explanation

South African government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian government for the translocation of 12 cheetahs to the Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh. The translocation is part of the Indian government's plan to reintroduce cheetahs into the wild after they became locally extinct in the country in the 1950s. The Kuno National Park has been identified as the most suitable habitat for the cheetahs, and the South African government has agreed to provide the cheetahs to India as part of a collaborative conservation program. The translocation of cheetahs is a significant step towards the conservation of this endangered species in India, and it is expected to enhance the biodiversity of the Kuno National Park.
