The National Tiger Conservation Authority has approved the filming of a four-part web series on Project Cheetah to highlight India's efforts in cheetah conservation. The series, set to air on Discovery Network in 170 countries, will start filming in September and aims to showcase the project's challenges, progress, and future expectations.

The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has given the green light for a four-part web series documenting Project Cheetah, aimed at showcasing India's conservation efforts on a global stage. The film will begin production in September, aligning with the project's second anniversary.

The web series will air on Discovery Network in 170 countries, detailing the challenges and milestones of the world's first intercontinental translocation of a large carnivore. Filming will take place in Kuno National Park and Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary under strict guidelines.

Officials hope the series will educate the public about the scale and intricacies of Project Cheetah, highlighting the struggle to reintroduce cheetahs to India. The project has faced various challenges, including a high leopard population and low prey availability, but remains committed to its long-term goals.
