While the intent is good, I hope proper scientific protocols are followed this time. The previous deaths were heartbreaking. Conservation needs patience, not just headlines.

Bringing cheetahs from Botswana and wild buffalo from Assam... MP is becoming a biodiversity hub! This will boost eco-tourism and create local jobs. Well done, CM Yadav.

The focus should also be on protecting our existing wildlife like tigers and leopards. Are the forest guards and infrastructure being strengthened to handle these new arrivals?
